Family Circumstances

Derartu, nicknamed Hawi, lives with his parents and three siblings in an impoverished neighborhood of Addis Ababa. His father has a physical disability that impacts his ability to work. Sadly, his mother is unable to meet the needs of the family on her own, and they cannot afford to send Hawi to school. Without support, this sweet boy’s education is at risk.
