It’s All Big To A Kid!

Our work with schools, children, and educators in rural Ethiopia creates lasting change. Your contribution today means Ethiopian students will have the resources they need to start school, stay in school, and succeed in school.

To keep our work going strong, we’ve launched a donation campaign to support students, schools, and teachers in Ethiopia. And we’ve rooted it in the idea that no amount is too small to impact a life — it’s all big to a kid! Every donation makes a child’s world a little bit bigger and widens the door to new opportunities.

What does $10 do? It provides three textbooks for a library. It helps a local school get one donation closer to its first microscope. It fills a backpack with school supplies. It supports a fund to provide educators continued professional training. It creates a ripple of change through the community.

We’d like to share a few stories of the children, teachers, and schools we’re working with in Ethiopia:

MEET SOME OF THE KIDS IN OUR STUDENTS SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM (SSP)!

Meet Feven! Feven is entering grade 1 and is enrolled by Roots Ethiopia to attend school through our Student Sponsorship program. Her parents used to worry about how to send her to school and assure they could keep her in school. Now Feven’s sponsorship means she enters first grade with the confidence and resources she needs to succeed.

Meet Tesfahun! He started his Roots Ethiopia school sponsorship when he was a kindergartener in 2012. Today, Tesfahun loves to practice his English and dreams of becoming a pilot or an engineer. This year, he starts sixth grade and we’re grateful to see him through his educational journey!

Meet Zeyetuna! She was born deaf and has faced many education obstacles. Now, her schooling is vastly improved because Roots Ethiopia supports her in a school for deaf students. She feels very encouraged, and is chasing her dreams of becoming a doctor. She hopes one day that she can be fortunate enough to help others who also have hearing disabilities.

Meet Betsega! He has been in the school sponsorship program for three years. Thanks to your support Betsega is able to attend the well-regarded Rohot Academy in Hosanna. He loves creating small business ideas to help his mom in the market.

Please SHARE this with others who might want to learn about our work to improve school facilities and provide tuition support in rural Ethiopia!

*Donations will be allocated to our “LRP: Schools Receive Critical Learning Materials” and “School Sponsorship Fund” as needed.
