Education Leads to a Lifetime of Transformation
August 15, 2022
The Tuti Village Education Committee met with the people numerous times to discuss sending their children to school. In the end, this dialogue yielded positive effects. Parents now recognize how critical it is to send their children to school. Bekele, our Transformational Community Development (TCD) coach, was born in this village. He is the only one who has completed a university degree; therefore, he sets a wonderful example for others. He is truly helping the community to bring change.
Previously, many of the village children were keeping an eye on animals for their families. The families preferred this, instead of sending their children to school. Now, things are starting to change. In this community, 300 youngsters are now enrolled in school!
