June's* story, Power of Faith tells the tale of her harrowing escape from the gallows and how she felt like her family's prayers saved her. The five years that she spent in prison was incredibly difficult on her relationship with her son as she felt like she wasn't doing enough for him. Through our befriending programme, her son was visited by volunteers who read and played with him at his home every week! He saw the volunteers as a gift from his mother to him - this helped to renew their relationship!

Riahna* found solace in a group of drug abusers after feeling abandoned by her family. After serving three terms in prison, Riahna realised that she already had people who loved and needed her, her two boys. Her book, Together We Grow, talks about how all she really needs is the love and warmth from her two boys to help her grow.

Love Beyond the Walls is full of heartwarming stories written by mothers to their children. This book helps our families heal broken bonds and encourage them to look forward to life beyond the prison walls. With your support, you can rebuild the relationship between mother and and child, and help them start their lives anew.
