When she Emerges, Stories of Hope from Goma DRC

In Goma, at the heart of eastern Congo, courage often begins quietly. Two girls—once uncertain about their futures—share how Young Women Emerge helped them rediscover their confidence, return to school, and begin to dream again.

Through their voices, we see what happens when opportunity meets determination, and when mentorship transforms not only individual lives but families, too. Their journeys remind us that when one girl emerges, she carries others with her. Watch their stories and feel the heartbeat of our mission.

Join us in helping more girls across Congo emerge with confidence and purpose — through education, training, and mentorship. Support the movement. Share their stories. Be part of the change. www.youngwomenemerge.org
