Birhane's Family

Birhane and her husband work hard to provide for their family, hoping to one day reunite with their daughter.

Birhane and her husband do their best to provide for their two children, but making ends meet has been a constant struggle. Despite lasting injuries from his military service, her husband works two security jobs to support the family.

Even so, they were forced to make the heartbreaking decision to send their daughter to live with relatives in the countryside because they could no longer afford to care for both children in Addis Ababa. The couple lives in a small home made of thin metal sheets and longs for the stability needed to bring their daughter home.

Monthly sponsorship will provide Birhane’s family with holistic support such as food, housing, medical care, spiritual care, counselling, education, health and life skills training, income generation and business development opportunities. Being part of HFK’s Family Empowerment Program will also give this family an opportunity to participate in many of our youth, daycare, education, and community programs.
