Faces of the Future

The older girls at Copprome Orphanage want to become doctors, business leaders, and teachers. Yet, in many cases, this is not what the future holds. When they graduate from high school, they must leave Copprome. Without any emotional, financial, or educational support, they often end up living in sub-standard housing or on the streets. Many become pregnant. Many turn to prostitution. This cycle is devastating, only leading to greater poverty and even more orphaned children.
