Hi, I'm Kalkidan
I'm a girl, 13 years old and live in Ethiopia.
Kalikidan is a hearing child but 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 to pursue the inclusive education that is being provided at the deaf school.
She is healthy, both physically and mentally.
She lives with her parents and two siblings. She has two brothers but has no sister. She is the second child in her family. Her father is a farmer and her mother is a housewife, so the family lives on subsistence farming and is striving to address their children’s basic and educational material needs.
