Spiritual Self Defense
Our loving and gracious GOD, we come before you with hearts full of gratitude, thanking you for the gift of life, good health and opportunity to learn and grow each day. We are grateful for your protection and guidance in our spiritual, academic and physical journeys.
We ask for wisdom and understanding in our studies so that we may gain knowledge and use it for our benefit and the good of others. Grant us strength and perseverance in times of challenges knowing that with your help we can overcome anything.
AMEN
We are gained to make each step ahead in our life by the willing of GOD the father of life.
We had Agness read this verse on the bible PSALM 108:13 says, “With GOD on our side we will win”. She come up by saying that anyone who do believe in God and that He by your side is that you can make it in life as we do kneel and looking for some help to Him. Also she end up by saying that if you don’t have God by your side you are nothing in this life as we know He is the provider of everything when He wants you to survive you will survive if not you will not make it.
Our girls got to learn and understand that when we have God on our side we will win in every situation no matter what, even if it’s take a lot of time he will answer.
Zawadi: “ As I told you before, about my life story, it was so hard to overcome my challenges on my own, but I come and realize GOD was on my side, even now He is with me”
They all come with the idea of singing a song of “I HAVE A VERY BIG GOD”

Physical Self Defense
Anna, Physical Self Defense Leader
In additional to their academic achievements the girls have been dedicating time to self-defense training, which has proven to be incredibly beneficial. This physical training not only enhances their strength and resilience but also boosts their confidence and sense of security. Engaging in self-defense has helped the girls manage stress better and has provided them with the tools to protect themselves. The discipline learned through self-defense training is also reflected in their academic efforts.
Intellectual Self Defense
We are very thank full to our GOD, that our girls are doing good at school, as Shamsa (one of our girls) did very good in school, makes other girls to be inspired and promise to make wonders this term in their studies. She is in form one but she really do a great work and her hardwork pays.

As we work on the project we have made great in achieving milestones, towards the projects we have gather our girls and let them learn how to feed the chicken and taking care of them and this project has not only improved their practical skills but also given them a deeper understanding of economics and how to manage resources effectively. Through their involvement in the project, the girls are learning how to navigate real-world challenges, giving them a sense of economic independence and preparing them for future opportunities.
