Bayu is keen to stay in school and has big ambitions for the future – she wants to become a doctor to support her community.
But because her parents struggle to earn enough income she was, like many children in Ethiopia, identified by her school as being at risk of dropping out of school prematurely. But when Link Ethiopia connected Abebech with a sponsor, we saw a big change.
Her confidence improved, as did her grades. Her school’s new library meant she could do her homework properly and she no longer had to worry about coming to school without a uniform. Small things on their own, but together they added up to a big change. Abebech is doing great – and we want to see this happening for many other children.
