Everyday, we meet mothers who fill our hearts to the brim.<\/h2>\n

Mothers with hope. Mothers with dreams. Mothers who remind us how lucky we are to have things like primary education and how monumental our work in Ethiopia is.<\/p>\n

Mothers like Nigisti Redae, a single mother of two, who never had the chance to go to school. Her greatest wish is for her daughter Kelalit to have a good education. \u201cI looked after cattle,\u201d Nigisti shared. \u201cMy parents punished me. But I don\u2019t want to punish my daughter. I want to see a good profession for her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Kelalit is determined to pursue a brighter future. She was chosen as one of imagine1day\u2019s Graduate Fund scholarship students because of her ceaseless dedication to her studies.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, education means knowledge,\u201d Kelalit expresses. \u201cEducation is especially important for girls because we are treated like donkeys around the village. Education ensures a woman\u2019s equality.\u201d<\/p>\n

As another Mother\u2019s Day falls upon us, we are proud to support mothers like Nigisti and girls like Kelalit.
\nYou can support too. Make a donation in honour of your own mother today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
