Remember when you first learned to read? The excitement of understanding math? The pride of wearing a new school uniform? For 11-year-old Kokebe, these simple joys are at risk of becoming distant dreams.
Without your help, Kokebe faces a heartbreaking reality: she will either go to school OR she must go to work to ensure her family’s survival. Instead of learning in a classroom, she’ll spend her days collecting firewood under the harsh sun, earning mere pennies to help feed her family.
But you can change her story.
With your gift of $32, you will give Kokebe a month of school.
Your caring heart will be part of a heavy lift to make sure she can count on an entire year of school. (You can trust that we won’t stop at one month!).
Here’s the impact you’ll help make:
1. You’ll fill a backpack with pens, notebooks, and hope
2. You’ll provide a uniform and shoes, giving dignity and belonging
3. You’ll ensure her family has food, so Kokebe can focus on learning, not working
Kokebe’s words show just how much your support means: “A school sponsorship means I can go to school like my friends. I can learn to read and do my math. Without sponsorship, I only have work to do and nothing that feels good.”
Your generosity goes beyond education—you’re breaking the cycle of poverty and opening doors for Kokebe to keep going to school.
Time is of the essence. School starts soon, and Kokebe’s future hangs in the balance. Will you be the one to make the difference?
Your action today shapes tomorrow. Your $32 gift before September 20 will make sure Kokebe can go to school, instead of going to work.
Ready to make a difference? Donate now and give Kokebe—or a child like her—the future they deserve.
Thank you for being the difference in a child’s life.
