Tamirat lives in Ethiopia. His father is deceased and his mother works as a day labourer, struggling to support her children on only one income. Tamirat helps by running errands for his mother and he loves playing soccer with his friends.

NB: The photo which appears above is not a picture of Tamirat. ChildFund believes that all children in our project areas should be given the opportunity to find a sponsor, so we do not encourage people to select a child on the basis of their physical appearance.
