Sponsor A Child

Name: Ermiyas

Country: Ethiopia

Birthday: 12/10/2016

It is with great pleasure that we introduce you a handsome child named Ermiyas, who lives with his parents and his two siblings. His father is a breadwinner, and he is pastor at church and earns meager income that is not sufficient enough to cover all family’s basic expenses. His mother is a housewife, and she takes care of the family.  He is in school. and his favorite subject is Gedeuffa local language. He wants to be a doctor in the future. The child enjoys playing football with his friends.  Ermiyas and his family lives in a small hut.  The local community where the child lives lacks quality education, health facilities, transportation facilities and they walk long distances to get water from contaminated river.  No sanitary facilities and most of the houses are one room with no partition for sleeping and cooking.  They plan to change their lives by being engaged in income generating business. In order to overcome the poverty Ermiyas is facing, he needs a helping hand. 

Ending child poverty begins with Ermiyas. It’s easy. It’s impactful.
