Zelalem's Education

Zelalem and his family first connected with HFK after a fire at the dump destroyed his family’s home and left several family members with severe burns. Despite the many hardships he has faced—including the recent loss of his father - Zelalem continues to show remarkable focus, strength, and determination. Known for his high grades, strong work ethic, and growing leadership, Zelalem leads a charity team at school and dreams of becoming a cardiologist. At home, he helps care for his younger brother and supports his family however he can. He’s a resilient, driven young man with an inspiring future ahead.

Zelalem just completed grade 6 at Mount Olive 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 his tuition, uniform, textbooks, school supplies, after-school tutoring, youth activities, and a nutritious Berta Breakfast every morning before school. Your support will help Zelalem break the cycle of poverty by empowering his mind and offering hope for a brighter future.
