DD-0013 Marta

“My name is Marta Likasa, I have three daughters and my husband died. When my husband died, Family Hope International started supporting my family. I have been leading my life by working as a daily laborer and I earn 25 birr per day (less than 50 cents USD). My life before you have started supporting me was full of troubles. I did not have anything to feed my children and I could not cook food for my children at home since there was nothing to cook. I bought baked injera at the market to feed my children.   

 

But one day God came to change my family’s life through FHI. God has reached us at the end. The neighboring people do not know me and nobody cared about my family. After FHI started supporting my family, I have seen a bright thing in my future. I can cook for my children and they are able to attend school. My sponsors have bought me a bed and bedding as extra support. I have not needed to buy any additional food. One of my daughters has graduated from Wollega University and the second one will graduate this year. My third daughter got married and she has started leading her life.

 

Concerning my microloan, I had never had that much money before. The loan has helped me in many ways and my life has changed because of it. I could not afford clean water but now I can. I have a place in the market where I can sell coffee and other produce from my property. I have made a profit and it helped me build my house. I have cash in my account and a small farm with seeds and fertilizer.

 

I would like to bless FHI sponsors and the staff for what they have done for my family and me.  May God bless you and your families, may God bless you abundantly.”

DD-0015 Bushu Moroda

“My name is Bushu Moroda. My life before Family Hope International started supporting me is very different from that of today. My children were scattered due to poverty. It was very difficult. At that time, I was working as a daily laborer making maube 10 birr (less than 20 cents USD) per day if I got that work. If not, I went to sleep without eating at night.

 

FHI has supported my family for the last 8 years and their support is monthly. After they started supporting my family, I have seen a bright future. We received food to eat and I have started preparing meals for my children as a woman does. My children have returned to school, they get exercise books, bags, school uniforms. They have been distributing us teff, maize, oil, soap, peas, exercise books, bag, and pen; we have been getting food support every month.  My sponsors have even bought me a bed and bedding and clothing. They have fixed my roof so now I am living in a good house.  Since FHI has started supporting my family, I have not bought any additional food from the market. Monthly distribution was enough for my family.

 

I have repaid my loan. I have been working in the market and from that loan profit, I have bought housing materials, shoes and some things for my daughter. I have also supported my scattered children where they are. I have farmed a small plot of land with some people and share the product.

 

Finally, I would like to bless the supporting families for what they have been doing for me and for poor people like me. May God help you forever and ever, may God remove any obstacles in front of you and your families.”
