Hi, I'm Mekdes
I'm a girl, 6 years old and live in Ethiopia.
Mekdes is living with her parents and siblings with the family size of 10. She has 2 brothers and 4 sisters and she is the 6th child in the family. Her father earns a little income form subsistence farming whereas her mother is a housewife. Therefore, we believe that being in our sponsorship program is a great opportunity for the child so that she may move forward in her education as education gives a better future. Mekdes has been enrolled in to our sponsorship program as the Wallana KG and Primary School is the only preschool nearby where the child lives.
