KERVENS is a bright and dedicated seven-year-old who has shown incredible strength in the face of tragedy. Kervens’ life was profoundly impacted in 2020 when his mother tragically passed away during the COVID-19 epidemic. She was a dedicated and talented seamstress who generated a significant income through a successful sewing business started with assistance from But God Ministries (BGM). Her entrepreneurial spirit helped lift her family up, and her loss has created a massive financial and emotional void.
Being a single parent in Galette Chambon carries a heavy burden; Kervens’ father must balance the demands of the market with the responsibilities of caring for two young children. Despite these challenges, he is committed to ensuring Kervens receives the education his mother would have wanted for him. Being a local vendor provides a lower income potential than his late wife, so as a single parent, he now struggles immensely to support Kervens and his sister alone while managing his own grief. The financial stability the BGM tailor shop partnership provided is gone, making the cost of education the biggest challenge the family faces.
Despite the hardship, Kervens finds joy in everyday life. He diligently helps out at home by taking care of the family goats and loves nothing more than playing soccer with his friends. At BGM Primary, his favorite subject is mathematics, and he holds onto a big dream: to become a doctor so he can help and heal others in his community.
