Elsabeth's Family

Elsabeth’s family has so little space in their one-room home that her oldest son must live with his aunt.

Elsabeth lost her mother at a young age and moved to Addis Ababa as a young woman to find work. Over the years, she worked in different jobs, including factory work and domestic work, to support her family. She later began selling butter and cheese door to door, but when the COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread job losses, both she and her husband lost their sources of income.

Today, Elsabeth and her husband are working hard to provide for their four children, but their income is not enough to meet their family’s needs. Their small home does not have enough space for everyone and does not have access to water. They struggle to afford enough food and cover their monthly expenses. Despite these challenges, Elsabeth continues to do everything she can to support her family and provide a better future for her children.

Monthly sponsorship will provide Elsabeth’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.
