Bethel Reta & Bereket Reta

1. Bethel Reta, Grade 8, Age 14 (Girl)
2. Bereket Reta, Grade 4, Age 9 (Boy)
Location: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

The Story:

This is a family held together by the invisible threads of faith and a mother's unwavering love. Nitsuh, abandoned by her husband years ago, works as a laundress, washing clothes for others to earn enough for rent. Her greatest treasures are Bethel, a thoughtful girl with dreams of becoming a fashion designer, and Bereket, a joyful boy whose faith shines brighter than his circumstances.

The Struggle:

The mother's laundry income barely covers rent, leaving nothing for school supplies, uniforms, or unexpected needs. Bethel sacrifices her teenage years, dedicating free time to church duties and caring for her brother instead of pursuing her passion for design. Bereket helps where he can, but he is still just a boy who should be playing and growing without burden.

Your Impact:

Your support lifts the weight of financial survival from this brave mother's shoulders. You allow Bethel to focus on her education and develop her design talent. You give Bereket the freedom to be a child, to play football, to laugh, and to grow without the shadow of poverty.

From Loneliness to Community - A Mother's Strength, Two Children's Hope

Nitsuh's life is a portrait of quiet sacrifice. Each morning before dawn, she fills her buckets with water and begins her work. Her rough hands tell the story of a mother who will do whatever it takes for her children. Three thousand Birr each month is all the money that comes into her home, and every single Birr goes to keeping a roof over her children's heads.

Bethel sketches fashion designs on scraps of paper. Her teachers say she has real talent, and with support she could become a skilled fashion designer. Bereket loves football. Football is his escape, his happiness, and his moment of being simply a boy.

Your Support Makes a Real Difference

Every gift you give becomes freedom for this family:

- Relief for a weary mother by helping with rent and basic living expenses

- Education and creative freedom for Bethel through school supplies, uniforms, art materials, and design opportunities

- Restoration of childhood for Bereket with time to play, a proper football, and room to grow

- Family stability and dignity so they can breathe again

"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you." (Matthew 7:12)
