Far Away Friends

LOVE looks like this...?? Last week, 40 guardians of orphaned students came together to discuss their children's progress and how they can work together to ensure they stay in school. ?? The results? ? Many students who were struggling academically are now thriving! ?Guardians recognize and support the life-changing impact of quality education. ?The need for more support and long-term solutions is greater than ever. ?? One challenge stood out: Some guardians struggle to provide the basic school materials needed for their children's education, leading to dropouts. They want to be more involved, and they are ready to step up—but they need continued support. Currently, 60 orphaned students receive assistance at GLP, but the demand is growing. Guardians are advocating for more students to be included and for a secondary school pathway for those who excel. Their message is clear: Every child deserves a future. ?? This is what community-led education looks like. No child should have to navigate their future alone—and thanks to these guardians, teachers, and supporters, they never have to. #EducationForAll #GlobalLeadersPrimary #FarAwayFriends #GuardiansOfEducation #CommunityLedDevelopment #SustainableEducation #EquityInEducation

?? Meet the Family Behind Our Mission ?? Esther's family has been woven into the heart of Far Away Friends from the very beginning. Her parents, Richard and Mary, are passionate believers in the power of education. Though they've faced countless challenges keeping all their children in school, but they've never stopped dreaming of brighter futures—especially for their daughters. A few years ago, Esther's older sister Sarah graduated from Global Leaders Primary (GLP), and now, Esther is proudly following in her footsteps. Their brother, Pule, was the inspiration behind our Far Away Friends logo, and today, he's living his dream as a mechanic! ???? Families like Esther's remind us why we do what we do. Together, alongside dedicated parents, teachers, and the entire community, we're opening doors to quality education and making dreams a reality. ?? Because it truly takes a village. ??
