Grace used to attend a public school with B accreditation. She was quiet, hardworking, and full of potential. When we met her, we saw more than just a student, we saw a dream waiting for a chance. She has a simple but powerful hope, to go to a good school and make her parents proud.

Through our scholarship program, that dream began to take shape. We transferred Grace to one of the best schools in Bandung. It wasn’t easy at first with the new environment and tougher academics but her dedication never wavered.

Today, she keeps up with her classes, has made wonderful friends, and walks with a quiet confidence that speaks volumes. Her transformation has been truly inspiring. Her parents are proud and so are we.

We’re incredibly grateful to be part of Grace’s journey toward a brighter future. And none of this would’ve been possible without you.

A heartfelt thank you to: Grace’s generous donors, The Petries family, Pin Pin Goh, Sekolah Menengah Pertama Kristen 1 Bina Bakti Bandung. Your kindness has opened doors, lit up her path, and reminded her that she is not alone. You are a part of her story and her success.

Has Grace’s story touched your heart? You can help change someone else’s life too.

Give hope. Give today : https://freeandsafe.co/en/donate/
