MEET MEKDES & SELAM
If you've read a brief introduction on the Project Me page you've gotten to know a little bit about these Mekdes and Selam! I met them on my second trip in 2015 while I was researching in the Hope House, to read more about my experiences please check out my senior thesis.
Mekdes is a strong single mother who has currently fallen in had times. I've watched her pour her all into her daughter and wants nothing but the best for them! Below is a list of things that they need which will be constantly updated. Below that section I've posted links of some of the item that can be purchased online, although many things can be bought at your local dollar store.
Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances she has fallen back into prostitution in order to provide for her daughter as her self! She has recently been left by her husband and the emotional toll as well as loss of income has been overwhelming. Dear Ethiopia is working hard to stop this, but her biggest push factor is her reoccurring fees. I want her to be scheduled with weekly counseling with Nigist who can help so this doesn't happen again. Please pray for her!
