Meet Cecile.

Every morning in Burkina Faso, after the firewood is lit and the children are fed, she pulls out her sewing machine and gets to work.

Cecile is in the last trimester of her pregnancy, lives in an impoverished community on the outskirts of the city, and is completely full of dreams.

She says, ”My dream is to improve my skills and become famous for fashion design.”

She still hasn’t had an ultrasound. But when a spot opened up in Compassion’s Survival program at her local church, everything shifted — prenatal support, practical skills and the kind of confidence that doesn’t come from having enough. It comes from knowing you’re not alone.
