#SURVIVORUPDATE: When McKenzie’s town in East Africa went into lockdown due to the pandemic, the schools closed, and she was unable to continue teaching. O.U.R. provided some financial support, and "McKenzie" began finding creative ways to earn money. McKenzie first started offering to wash her neighbors’ clothes. However, carrying the heavy loads of laundry caused her considerable back pain, so she started looking for a new entrepreneurial venture. With her sister, McKenzie was able to gather some capital to start a baby shoe business. They make the shoes by hand, which is difficult work, but McKenzie says it’s all worth it to provide for her family. The pandemic has brought new challenges for McKenzie, but she continues to maintain a positive outlook. Just recently, her son, who is now 13-years-old, was able to return to school “Even though times are hard, I still have to praise God for the big things and the little things,” McKenzie said. We are inspired by McKenzie’s passion and commitment to provide for her family and to continue forward despite challenges. We are grateful for the opportunity to support survivors like McKenzie through their journeys. Visit our link in profile to read Mckenzie's full story.
