Selamawit's Education

Bright and motivated, this 13-year-old loves school and has big dreams for her future!

Selamawit's journey hasn’t been easy.  When she first came to HFK as a baby, she was being raised by a single mother battling illness and struggling to provide for her children in extremely difficult conditions. Today, her mother is a talented basket weaver who has worked hard to build a better life for their family. But to ensure Selamawit receives the quality education she deserves, additional support is still needed. With her determination and a little help, the future is full of possibility.

Selamawit just completed grade 8 at Mar Youth Academy, a private school that offers a higher standard of education with smaller class sizes, quality teaching, and greater support from teachers. This Educational Sponsorship will cover her tuition, uniform, textbooks, school supplies, after-school tutoring, youth activities, and a nutritious Berta Breakfast every morning before school. Your support will help Selamawit break the cycle of poverty by empowering her mind and offering hope for a brighter future.
