NEGISTE’S SCHOLARS SCHOLARSHIP

“Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another. “ G.K. Chesterton

Hello good people!  My name is Abeba and I’m starting a scholarship to honor my beloved aunt and I would appreciate your support

Our Story 
Do you have someone in your life that has profoundly and completely impacted the trajectory of your life?

That person for me was my aunt Negiste.

The education she made possible for me has been one of the key pillars to bettering my life.

I was born in a small village in Wello (Ethiopia) to a young mother. My father Abraham who was born in Eritrea and was working in Dessie as an agriculturist at the time of my birth. Shortly after my birth my father migrated to Saudi Arabia for better opportunities and employment but, he passed away very soon after his arrival. I was 4 years old at the time of his passing. My young mother unemployed she was unable to care for me. My Godmother kept her promise to my father and became my guardian. My father, Abraham had also asked his only sister Negiste to make sure she looked after me and educated me if something happened to him.

On my 8th birthday my aunt Negiste who was living in Saudi Arabia at the time came in search for me adopted me and changed the trajectory of my life through education, unmatched devotion and love! To honor my father’s unwavering love, my aunt’s devotion to my father and to me; the education and life they made possible for me; I’ve decided to establish a scholarship to support young scholars that come from similar circumstances.  The scholarship will serve and support children that are raised in single family households.  

I am excited to introduce this initiative and would appreciate your support in establishing this scholarship in a form of a donation.  Please join me in this journey to profoundly impact young peoples lives through education!  I offer you my sincerest gratitude in advance.

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
