Genzeb Tibeb is very bright. At only 11 years
old, her future is looking promising. She is ranked 2nd Out of 56
students at her govemment school in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia where she has been
seleeted for a special program because of her talent. She knows she is special
and proudly shows off her certificate and book signifying her accomplishments
in this special program.
But her future hasn't always looked
so bright. While her mother, Bekelech, sacrificed immensely for Genzeb, she
would not have been able to continue sending her to school. When her husband
died, Bekelech was the sole provider for their five children. In order for them
to survive, she began the daily routine of walking approximately 8-10 miles a
day collecting sticks to sell near her 8' x 10' home in Kichene. It
wouldn't have been long before Genzeb would have been, forced to quit school in
order to help her mom. But Bright Future changed all that.
Genzeb has been at Bright Future
for 3 years. Since Ethiopian schools let out early, Genzeb walks to the
facility right after lunch. Because of her high ability, she even helps
teach the younger children there, building confidence and locking in important
foundational academic skills. There's also other meaningful opportunities Genzeb
experiences which allow her eyes to be opened to the different opportunities that
are available to her if she completes her studies. Field trips are one of
her most favorite activities of all. She especially loved the one to Addis
Ababa University.
She knows it goes beyond fun trips, though. "I am
happy because I get extra help for school from Bright Future," Genzeb
shares. At so many levels, her involvement with Bright Future allows her
to receive a better education, which she values. For one day she wants to
help people in need by becoming a doctor. And now she knows, that with a
lot of hard work, that dream might just become a reality.
