Praise God: Karen's Graduation Testimony

Date posted: January 26, 2026

Today, we would like to introduce you to Karen. An orphan, Karen and her sister Joy are student leaders at WADADA. We are thrilled to celebrate Karen as she graduates with top marks from Form Four—the final year of secondary school in Kenya, equivalent to a U.S. high school senior year.

Karen’s journey is a powerful reminder of what love, faith, and opportunity can do in the life of a child. Watch Karen share her testimony and her dreams of pursuing a career in education.

Thank you to everyone who helped make Karen’s achievement possible through prayers, donations, faithful support and a shared commitment to investing in the lives of children. Check back soon for more graduation videos!
