Mulunesh's Family

Thank you! We are pleased to share that Mulunesh is fully sponsored!

At night, Mulunesh sleeps on a makeshift bed of bricks covered with cardboard, and her days are spent struggling to feed her two young daughters. Mulunesh was raised by her parents until she came to Addis Ababa as a teen to find a job. After working as a maid for five years, she worked as a juice maker at a restaurant while attending night school up to grade 8. She met and married her husband, and they moved to the Korah area. Following the birth of her first baby, Mulunesh stopped working to care for her. When her husband had to leave to complete a job out of town, he rarely visited his family and his behavior changed. He became secretive and distant and began abusing alcohol. Mulunesh’s husband eventually left, and she began selling cabbage to feed her girls. Mulunesh is an expressive, devoted mother. Her job experiences and determination put her in a strong position to change her life through sponsorship.

Monthly sponsorship will provide Mulunesh’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 daycare, education, and community programs.
