“I am 75 and I am weak. We have only a small plot of land and we are rain reliant. We are in a challenging situation here, as we cannot manage on our own. We depend on the local community to help us.”
– Getene, 75.
Farmers like Getene Ashenafi and his wife Ayenech, already living in extreme poverty, have been left with a meagre supply of food due to drought. Like many million in East Africa, they have suffered from the absence of rain.
Getene says “We have only a small plot of land and we are rain reliant.”
One of the local staff from SUNARMA sensed a guest’s unease when offered food and said:
“Here, hospitality and community is our way of demonstrating love. Getene and his friends went on to explain that the community frequently meets like this to serve one another and encourage one another when facing difficult times. Their hospitality is a way of life.
Please join us in showing compassion to our GLOBAL community, by sending us a gift of whatever you can manage, so that together with SUNARMA we can continue to help Ethiopian communities like those in Zego.
