Sponsor A Child

Name: Selamawit

Country: Ethiopia

Birthday: 03/28/2014

We are now introducing you the joyful girl named Selamawit who lives with her parent in a neighborhood with poor hygiene. She and her parents speak Amharic local language. She is a primary school student. Her favorite game is running and when she grows up she wants to be a doctor. Her father has passed away.  Her mother is a casual worker and her minimal income, which is very low per annum, is not enough to cover even their most basic needs.  They plan to change their lives by being engaged in modern engaged and working hard. This can be achieved if they get some support and encouragement. The family shares a small poorly built house made up of wood and mud.  The community where the child lives is densely populated.  The prevalence of diseases is high due to poor environmental sanitary practices of the dwellers.  Although there is access to basic education and health services in the locality, they lack quality educational materials and standard medical equipment.  In order to overcome the poverty Selamawit is facing, she needs to be enrolled in the project.

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