Daily Reflection

Mothering Sunday - Elema followed tradition and was proud when her daughter got married aged 12. Shortly afterwards, Elema watched her die in labour. With the help of HUNDEE, Elema now campaigns against child marriage and protects girls like Bokiya who flee from it. ‘Not only will my daughters be over 18 when they marry, but I will protect other girls too,’ Elema says. Thanks to her, the community has prevented many child marriages.

Pray for Elema and other courageous women who challenge traditions to protect young girls.
