“After I returned from Europe, Pathfinders gave me hope when I had no hope. They were like a mother, a father, a big sister to me during what a very difficult time. They believed in me and helped me start a small business selling soft drinks and water at a market in Benin City. They have given me joy and hope again and I am able to support myself financially. What they are doing for women like me is just incredible. When I think of them, it brings my heart joy because I remember where I came from. I thank God for them. I hope that one day I can do the same for someone else in this situation. Thank you, Pathfinders, I’m grateful!” ~Esther O. O., survivor turned business-owner
“[Barrister Idahosa] has been a rock to me. She has used Pathfinders to help me learn a skill and I see myself not looking like a victim but I’m a survivor and that’s how I see myself right now. It’s been really a great, great opportunity to be able to know these people. They have touched my life so, so positively and I am grateful. So these people are real! They are really God’s given gift to mankind today and that’s the little I want to say. ” ~Joyce O., survivor turned fashion design graduate
