<p>Mimi plays with younger brother, Abu. Two years ago, Mimi's brother almost died from a combination of malaria and meningitis. That's when Yekokeb Berhan immediately arranged for medical care at Adama Hospital. At the time, neither child was going to school. Rather, they were working on a farm. At first, the family received material support but very quickly, the nature of the support shifted to training, economic strengthening, and parenting education. Now, both children are back in school and their mother works in a small restaurant where she prepares traditional food for local farm workers to eat at lunch and dinner.
