Voices From The Field

What our community says about us

Real stories and firsthand accounts from the students, families, and partners we work alongside.

Hirut Bekele

Micro-Enterprise Owner in Nekemte

I used to struggle day to day doing casual labor with no stability. After graduating from the tailoring training and receiving a sewing machine, I now run my own workshop and provide for my children.

Misku Sultan

Grade 3 Student in Nekemte

Before the foundation provided my exercise books and uniform, I had to share one notebook across five subjects. Now I have everything I need, and I achieved top marks in my class.

Obbo Guyo

Homeless, Leka Dulecha

"For years, I survived on the open streets, blind, frail, and forgotten. Every day was a fight for survival facing cold weather, hunger, and constant danger. Because I could not see, I had to rely on the kindness of strangers just to find a piece of bread or a safe place to sit. The day the foundation brought me to the caring center, my whole world changed. For the first time in years, I had a clean bed, warm meals, medicine, and people who cared for me with respect and love. I am no longer alone in the dark. I have a home, safety, and my dignity back. I thank God and everyone who made it possible to bring me off the street into a place where I am loved and cared for every single day."
