Shortly after Fatasse’s birth in 2008, his father died. Fatasse’s father had been ill for a long time and every bit of money went to help with treatment. He and his mother were left with no money, no land and no home in which to live. Usually when a man dies, his family will care for his wife and children. In this case, nobody stepped up to help. Fatasse’s mother took her infant son and found a room to rent. She buys and resells vegetables to earn money for food. The average amount she makes a day is less than a dollar. Things have not been easy and there seemed little hope for Fatasse to go to school. Fatasse was given a place at the Sheltering Wings School. His mother is so very happy that Fatasse has been given this chance. Fatasse is doing very well in his classes. His mother is Muslim, but his grandmother is a Christian. Since starting school, Fatasse has been going to church each week with his grandmother. Sponsorship will ensure that Fatasse can continue his education. With sponsorship, he will also receive help with food and access to medical care.
