She whispers the words aloud, practicing their pronunciation. In this simple moment, she is learning to dream.
Shorbano was born into a migrant family that has spent years moving in search of work. Her father works as a sweeper, while her mother collects garbage to help provide for the family.
For children of migrant families, life can be incredibly uncertain. Without a permanent home or consistent access to school, many children never have the opportunity to learn.
For girls like Shorbano, the risk of abuse and exploitation adds another layer of vulnerability.
But that doesn't have to be Shorbano's story.
For the past three years, she has attended our slum school, where programs are designed specifically to reach children of migrant workers. When she first arrived, a classroom was a completely new world. She quickly fell in love with learning.
Today, English is her favorite subject. She can read, write, and express herself in a language she once never knew.
“I want to become a teacher,” Shorbano says, “so I can guide other children, just like my teachers guided me.”

Because of your support, Shorbano has something every child deserves: the freedom to dream about her future.
Through education, care, and the love of Christ, you are reaching children in overlooked places and reminding them that no child is invisible.
