“But there are not enough of them.”
“No,” he admitted.

In the months that followed, Catherine became involved in the foundation Moses had funded for years but never spoken much about. At first she felt uncertain in meetings with managers, planners, and development specialists. But she soon discovered that her own life gave her something no report ever could: truth.
She knew what it meant to lose parents. To be treated like an inconvenience. To have your future negotiated by others.
When they visited villages to discuss safe housing and education programs for vulnerable girls, Catherine spoke with a quiet force that made people listen.
“I know what it feels like,” she told one group of village leaders, “to believe your life depends on someone else’s mercy. But every child deserves the chance to choose her own path.”
The women in the room listened closely. An elderly woman took Catherine’s hand afterward and said, “You speak with truth. We trust you.”
