Client Testimony
My name is Juliet Kolanbik. I am 20 years old final year student of Bolgatanga Senior High School in the Upper East Region of Ghana offering Business as a course. I come from the village from Bumbruku a village in the Northern Region and hail from a family of eight siblings. I got pregnant in my final year at the senior high school and delivered a baby girl on the 29thof April 2018 whiles writing my final exams. My parents are not able to support me due to having many children so I have to find ways to support myself by getting with a man who promised to help me to adjust to life in the Senior High School hence but he left when I got pregnant.
I have no one to help me so someone introduced me to the International Women’s Hope Center (IWHC) for assistance. The center supported me emotionally, and with maternity, clothes and baby clothes and baby personal care items. IWCH also counseled me and encouraged me. I thank IWCH for helping me and my baby.
