My name is Elizabeth M Charles. I am a Tanzanian woman with  23 years of age.The purpose of this testimony is to testify the miracle that happened in my life after the complication of my secondary education. I was selected by the government to join the University of Dodoma undertaking an Ordinary Diploma in Primary Education (ODPE). In October of 2015, [we discovered] something wonderful. Our tuition was paid for by the government through the loan board. After the election of the new government through the Ministry of Education, everything had changed, so we were transferred to Marangu Teachers College. We found out that we were supposed to pay every thing on our own now, including college fees and other contributions. When I looked back at my family and my parents, I knew that they couldn’t afford to pay such an amount. From there, I took a step of faith and I came to Marangu anyway to continue in my studies. In the beginning, it was very hard for me but I started praying and asked God to show me the way.  

In 2018, I met Kelly and the Graceful Warrior Project in Marangu through Pastor Deo and Neema Msangi (the chief of GWP Tanzania).   I joined the project and I learnt many things. I completed my college education to become a teacher in April 2019, but was refused my diploma because I still had no money to pay for my tuition. This is when I explained my life situation to Neema, the chief of GWP,  that I completed my studies  but I will not get any of Diploma certificate because of the debt I had.  When I shared it with Neema, she encouraged me and told me to continue praying so that God would open the doors. Thanks to my sponsors I now have my diploma. Glory be to our  Mighty God. Amen.
