Walking Together in Faith and Practical Love

In this week, IGRM carried out 33 total activities and reached 1,085 participant engagements across all programs. Some participants joined more than one activity, showing strong trust and active involvement.

This week shows stable and continued engagement compared to the previous week, confirming that more people are returning and staying connected to the programs.

Each activity became a place of encouragement, learning, and renewed hope for children, youth, and families.

A Story of Change

This reflects the real transformation happening in many lives.
