My Name is Abeba Menegesha and I was
born in 1979 E.C in Holeta from my mother Tejitu Abate and from my father Mengesha Gebre.
My father died when I was in grade three.

When I was in grade
four I registered in a CDSP program in Holeta, Et-305 project in Meserete Kiristos
church. After I passed grade twelve I joined leadership development program (LDP). This program covers all that is necessary for
ones life, like school supplies, supplementary food, hygiene, school fee, life skill
training (like computer), transportation, clothing and so on. And during school holidays, I have taken
leadership courses, workshops and trainings which are necessary for ones personal
development.

With in the
coming ten years, I want to open an orphanage to help orphans and children on
the streets.
