Eyob is in 2nd grade at Repi Elementary School in Kara Kore, Ethiopia. He loves playing soccer with his friends, and wants to be a doctor when he grows up. 
 

Eyob's mother, Tigist, is a day laborer. This is exhaustive work and pays very little. Although she works very hard, she cannot provide enough to feed her 2 children. This family is suffering from nutrition-related illnesses as a result. If Eyob is sponsored for $35/month, he will receive daily meals, after school tutoring, and basic medical care. If his family is sponsored for an additional $15 a month, they will all receive monthly food rations and medical care, and his mother will be given priority to enroll in our Family Business Program, where she will be empowered to start her own small business and earn an income.
