Mintesenot's Education

Thank you! We are happy to share that Mintesenot is fully sponsored!

Mintesenot is a clever and determined teenager with a dream of becoming a doctor. He has known extreme poverty, growing up in a small corrugated-tin home with his hardworking single mother, who is raising four children.  At times, his mother was only able to provide food by begging on the streets, and the family often went hungry.  Despite these challenges, Mintesenot recently completed grade 6 at a public school and remains motivated to succeed.  He attends the after-school tutoring program faithfully, enjoys playing soccer, and participates in many Hope for Korah programs and classes.  A few years ago, he became a Christian and loves reading his Bible and praying. 

Mintesenot is starting Grade 7 at Mar Youth Academy, a private school which provides a higher standard of education, in smaller classrooms, with quality teaching and greater support from teachers. This Educational Sponsorship will cover tuition, uniform, textbooks, school supplies, after-school tutoring, youth activities, and Berta Breakfast every morning before school. In turn, this will help Mintesenot break the cycle of poverty by empowering his mind and offering hope for a better future.
