Before ActionAid started work in Arerewa, Ethiopia, Kalayita had little chance of an education. The 'nearest' school was a four-hour walk away and many families were so poor they needed their children to stay at home and help them with essential tasks, like collecting water or taking care of younger brothers and sisters.
But now there is a school nearby, Kalayita can continue helping her family whilst learning other skills like reading, writing and maths. With an education, she will be better able to earn a living and, when the time comes, provide for her own children.
By leaving a gift to ActionAid in your Will, you could make other vital projects like this possible. For further information, request our booklet.
You can also send us the details of your gift by filling in our online pledge form. The information you give us will be kept completely confidential and is not legally binding.
"Arerewa School is giving many children the chance to transform their lives with an education. For them, this school is perhaps the only way to make a life without poverty and hunger."
