It’s an amazing feeling when you can experience an incredible success story first-hand.
Back in 2007 we came across Berihun. He was living in a 2mx1m makeshift corrugated iron hut in Addis Ababa all alone, in terrible conditions, without electricity and without any running water. The year before, aged 12, he had left his family behind in the countryside in order to continue his education.
Berihun earned a few pennies from shoe shining and he gave extra tuition classes so that he could buy food and school books for himself.
