Hi, I'm Shita
I'm a girl, 12 years old and live in Ethiopia.
Shita is a hearing child. She is from highly impoverished family and was unable to go to school because her family was unable to address her educational material needs. The opening of Yesus Mena school for the deaf & child’s enrollment in Holt’s sponsorship program will help her pursue the inclusive education that is being given by the deaf school. She was in good health at the time of admission. Shita lives with her both parents and with her two brothers and a sister who are economically impoverished. She is the 4th child among her siblings. They are suffering from malnutrition, lack of clothing and health problem. Thus, the family is in a difficult condition to address their children’s basic needs and the child doesn’t have the necessary educational material to attend class properly.
