Season 3 – Episode 5 – Zoe Empowers
| BIG IDEA | In this episode you’ll hear about Rahab, a young girl in Africa who lost her parents when she was just 15 years old and was left alone to raise her two younger siblings. Unfortunately, Rahab is one of millions of minor children who are orphaned, in severe poverty, and struggling to care for and feed their families. But as you’ll hear, the story ends happily. Through the ZOE Empowers program, she now owns her own hair salon and is thriving! Zoe Empowers is an organization that works with minor children who are heads of their households. Participants complete a three-year program along with other orphans who support and assist one another. They are trained in skills, encouraged to follow their dreams, and find hope and dignity. |
