Pitso was 11 years old in 2009 when I first met him. He has grown up facing the challenges that accompany AIDS and poverty in Lesotho. One in three of his friends are orphans. The opportunity to break the cycle of poverty is daunting.
Pitso is being given a chance for a brighter future! For the past five years friends of Anchor Your Life have sponsored Pitso’s high school tuition giving him a once in a lifetime chance to pursue his dream of finishing his education. He has finished high school and is now looking towards fulfilling his dream of becoming a pastor. He starts his training in July, 2019.
Anchor Your Life has developed a Training Program to equip Pitso and other students in Lesotho and South Africa for employment and provide them with a brighter hope for their futures. Together we can change Pitso’s future and give 100’s of others a chance to fulfill their dreams!!!
Will you join me on this journey?
