This is Sarah's story

"I got married because of poverty. My Father had no money to take me beyond primary seven. I stayed home for a long time the only option I had was to get a man. Sarah is now 17 years recalls. Two years into marriage, I gave birth, but that came with more misery as the baby's father failed to take responsibility. As a result, Sarah quit the relationship. "I realized he was irresponsible. He failed to provide for my child and me".

Like thousands of other girls countrywide, Sarah still bears the burden of early motherhood and forced marriage. JFM has actively preached the good news of Jesus to young girls and also to remain in school. Due to privacy, JFM decided not to take her identity on the website.
