Bethlehem's Family

Bethlehem has a gift for caring for children with special needs and hopes to build a better future for her family.

After completing Grade 12, Bethlehem was accepted into university, but when her mother passed away, she chose to stay home and care for her younger siblings. As the oldest child, she took on many responsibilities within her family and put her own education on hold.

Bethlehem later found work caring for children with special needs. Although she had no formal training, she gained valuable experience and discovered a passion for this work. Since having her baby more than a year ago, Bethlehem has been unable to return to work because she cannot afford childcare. Without her income, Bethlehem and her husband are struggling to cover their monthly rent and provide for their family. Despite these challenges, she remains determined to create a more stable future for her child.

Monthly sponsorship will provide Bethlehem’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.
