Mekilit Alemayehu

Sponsor ID: AM2423
 
Mekilit is seventeen years old and from Arba Minch, a city located within the southern part of Ethiopia. She speaks both Amharic and Gamogna.
 
Mekilit is in school, at a grade nine level. Her favorite food is injera with wot. She loves to watch movies. She would like to be a nurse when he gets older to support her mom and children from poor families like her. Her favorite color is pink.

Mekilit is seeking sponsorship due to extreme poverty. She is currently living with her mom, who is a daily laborer but the income she earns is not enough to support their basic needs. Her dad died when Mekilit was in elementary school. They are currently really struggling with the inflation that Ethiopia is seeing, as in the US. Sponsorship will help provide her basic needs such as food, medical supplies, and clothing, as well as pay her school fees.
