Ato Assefa became economically dependent on his children after he encountered a physical impairment. Though, he frequently went to Alert & Black Lion Hospitals for treatment in Addis Ababa, he is unable to get recovered back to his former physical status.

Ato Assefa is supported by a wooden bar/ to walk around his village and needs to have an iron made cranch to walk long distances; however, he couldn’t afford its price. He looks after his sheep every day.

To improve his livelihood, IHESP funded by Hope & Healing International (HHI) supported him 3 sheep (2 ewes and a washera ram.) Today, his sheep reaches to 11 in number.
