Nardos Melaku
She lives with her mom, Ababa (which means "flower"), who she is very close to, and her older brother, Yohannis, age 7, and all of them would live with their dad too if he didn't skip out on the family after Ababa became pregnant with the youngest. Currently, Yohannis is a grade 1 student and goes to a private school near the home, a cost of 70 birr per month. They rent the house they live in at a cost of 350 birr monthly. They are fortunate enough to have a water source nearby, but it is not filtered water and for the past two weeks, that water pump has gone dry so they travel about 10 minutes away to get it. Ababa washes clothes and sells injera to take care of her and her family, but even so it is not enough. With a full sponsorship, Nardos will receive rice and grain for food and when she gets old enough she will begin nursery at BCI Academy. If you are interested in sponsoring tinnish (or small) Nardos, please visit www.blessingthechildren.org/donate to set up your donation.
