Derartu's community in Ethiopia is facing the worst hunger crisis in a generation but sponsors are a lifeline in keeping malnutrition at bay. Sponsors don’t just impact a single child, but invest in an entire community.

64-year-old Mae Tui no longer struggles to provide food for her children and grandchildren. She no longer needs to go out looking for food in the water streams like before. After receiving training and fingerlings to grow her own, her pond is flourishing with fish. Her family no longer needs to worry about when their next meal would be.
