Part 3: Stories from Ethiopia

Aregawi Tadel and his daughter are part of a large family of 9 members from 3 generations. Aregawi and his family live in Agulae and own 0.75 hectares of land that produce 10 quintals a year. They get the chance to harvest twice a year, one in October after the rainy season and the second one around May. His family is very hard working. They mainly cultivate onion, pepper, corn, wheat and teff-cereal endogenous of Ethiopia. 

Despite massive efforts the annual purchase rate of the whole family does not reach 10.000 Birs (430 Euros per year). Alemat, looking mischievous and lively combines school with work on the farm. As we talk, she expresses her desire to improve female opportunities, to enjoy greater access to knowledge and aspire to achieve greater rights, just like any youngster from elsewhere.



Sport Network is currently implementing a project to reduce food insecurity among the population of Kilte Awlaelo. 

During the past months we payed tribute to the beneficiaries of our projects, by sharing a series of stories that reflect the lives and scope of profiles participating in our project.

This is the last one in a series of articles about our beneficiaries in Ethiopia.
