One of the core human need is security. In each engagement an individual has in life, this need can either be met or denied. Once this need is met then a human being feels safe and fulfilled. The lack of it however leads to discomfort and uncertainty in life. For some it causes confusion, withdrawal and lack of self-motivation. Tina's story of Alabastron was not any different because she found her job a security thus its lack therefore left her scared to face life.

“I would not stand the thought of being out of work.” Tina reveals. When my contract ended in April 2019, I was lost, anxious and confused. One day as I was having tea with my neighbor, she mentioned Alabastron. After the sharing we had. I thought it was a nice idea that I take the program.

I chose to attend the marathon class because I had time and I was eager to reinvent myself. I am a Christian. I read the Bible and listen to summons online. I also read a lot of Christian books and self-help books. My struggle about my worth has been real despite these self-prescriptions I had on myself. This deep rooted belief was so evident in my life such that if something good happened to me, I would intentionally sell myself short. [...]

It is only in Alabastron where I got clarity and found myself.

Has your life ever looked like you are stuck in a circle? Always in circles heading nowhere? This was my life when I Joined Alabastron where I found myself and led me to move forward.

My elder sister has always got my back! Way since I can remember she always has my back. Thanks God for her! She is the one who introduced me to Alabastron. She invited to attend the first class of Alabastron to evaluate if I would like to engage in the class. After the class I was sure I need to do the program because I was going through a rough patch in my life.

I had just moved to Nairobi after experiencing frustration in my career and in my relationship with the father of my child. After the birth of my daughter, things were never the same. Not once, did I get betrayed, lied to and used. One of the most painful instances was when he decided that he would move near where I lived so that he would have a relationship with his daughter. In a bid to facilitate his decision, he borrowed money from me to help out in settling then he promised he would pay it back in due course. [...]

Have you ever longed to interact with an organization that impacts your life differently and leaves a mark in your life? Do you still believe in organizations that are keen on influencing the character and the career of an individual in tandem? Alabastron is one of these organizations.

I heard about Alabastron on Television from a program on a local channel. I enjoyed the show and was inspired to learn more about the organization.

One day, when I surfing the internet, I happen to learn about an internship opportunity at Alabastron. I applied for the opportunity. A month or so later, I had been interviewed and began working at Alabastron. When I joined Alabastron, I was excited about my work because I have a passion for women and my work. [...]

What do you do on your darkest days? How do you view life? How is your inward environment? What do you do when you are tired of losing to life?

I was broken when I learnt about Alabastron. My mother and my cousin told me about it. My cousin was supportive and encouraging to say the least. She promised me if I was interested, she was willing to pay for me. I was in bad shape!!

“This is a life changing program. It was a turning point for me in my life. This program enabled me to look into my life and most of my underlying issues I had been avoiding.” My cousin revealed. With this kind of reference, I wouldn’t avoid taking the program. Anyhow, she was willing to pay for me. I had nothing to lose!

I was heavily pregnant with my second baby. I had not yet graduated. I lost my job since the organization down sized. To make things worse, the father of my children disappeared on me. This disappointment was evident in my parents. They opted to throw me out of the house for getting pregnant. Wow!! [...]

Have you ever been on the cross roads in life? Have you ever felt lost in the valley of decisions? Has life ever seemed like a car at the road about ready to take the next turn, yet insecure about any turn? Alabastron helped me strip away my past and arrive at a fulfilling decision.

I learnt about Alabastron in 2018 through my sister. She heard about it five years ago or so. She didn't take serious interest in it. After sharing with her what I was going through, she said.

“Alabastron has facilitated many women to go through different life challenges and come out strong. Women with similar stress as yours have gone through the program and their lives have completely transformed”

This confession created a lot of curiosity within me. I thought it was a counseling forum where a group of women share their struggles and problems then pray for one another. But WOW!! That wasn’t it at all!!

At the moment, I felt lost in a valley of decisions. On one hand, I was dealing with pain from a man in my life. He appeared to be present but in actual sense he absent. At the same time, I had a nine months old baby who I did not want to expose to the stress I was going through. On the other hand, I wanted to move on. I had come to terms with the fact that the father of my son was not ready to have us as part of his life. To top it up, I had financial stress. My job was not well paying. The thought of having a nanny take care of my son could not add up. Oooh No
