Solomon is 12 years old and in 6th grade at Amanuel Elementary School in Karakore, Ethiopia. His favorite school subject is Civics and he likes to play football during recess.

​

Solomon has 2 brothers and a sister. Their father was disabled during his time in the army and cannot work as a result. His mother has severe back pain and cannot work in most jobs, so they find it very difficult to find sustainable employment. If Solomon 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 parents will be given priority to enroll in our Family Business Program, where they will be empowered to start their own small business and earn an income.
