A Mother’s Promise

“My dream is to see my children become successful in their education. For this, I will do my best.”

This is the promise that Yeshi, a mother of two living in Ethiopia, has made for her children – and despite the odds, she’s keeping that promise.

Dino’s garden shop grows new life

Dino always had dreams of starting a business. But as a labourer earning an unstable income, he put his dreams on hold to focus on supporting his children.

“Of course it was not enough. I was not able to feed my children enough nutritious food throughout the year.”

Then came the opportunity of a lifetime – the chance to start a garden shop.

Spreading the Love

Hassen and Zeyneba are a team. Together, they manage their home and family farm in Cheffa Valley, Ethiopia.

As the farm gets more successful, they’re spreading the love to their neighbours by helping them out wherever they can.

But just a few short years ago, life was very different for the couple.
