Emily’s Inspiring Journey
Meet Emily, the youngest of three sisters and a shining example of what hope, hard work, and opportunity can do.
Graceland African Mission began supporting Emily’s education when she entered Grade 9. With Canadian financial support, mentorship, and her own remarkable determination, Emily has grown into a passionate advocate for mental health and education.
Today, Emily is:
- Pursuing her MA in Counselling Psychology, as GAM’s first post-graduate student!
- Building the Young Counsellors and Psychologists Network (YCPN)—a platform connecting young mental health practitioners and supporting their professional growth
- Combining her B.Ed in English and Literature with her counselling training to help learners and society at large
Emily shares:
“I am passionate about helping others heal, grow and pursue healthy relationships. I believe compassion is strength, and service is purpose.”
Her future plans include pursuing a PhD in Psychology, expanding YCPN, and creating accessible mental health care and safe spaces for young people.
We are so grateful to witness Emily’s journey. Her story reflects the heart of GAM’s mission: when opportunity meets determination, lives and communities are transformed.
