Hi, I'm Genet
I'm a girl, 12 years old and live in Ethiopia.
Genet is a hearing child. Her family is in a difficult position to address her basic and educational material needs due to their poor economic status. The opening of Yesus Mena School for the deaf and the child’s enrollment in Holt’s sponsorship program helps her pursue the inclusive education provided at the deaf school. She is healthy and active both physically and mentally. Genet lives with her parents and siblings. She has three brothers and four sisters. Their family livelihood depends on daily labor and the small amount of income that they get from subsistence farming. Nonetheless, they strongly believe that education is the only possible way that can create a brighter future for their children and should be pursued by all means.
