Aregu Alemu
Aregu Alemu has been waiting 439 days for a sponsor.
Aregu is 19 years old and in Grade 11. She wants to become a doctor. Aregu says she loves playing with her sisters and likes to learn new things. She is a good student and has helped the other kids with their schooling. She enjoys reading, drawing, and being creative. She says she thinks of her sponsors as her family and wants them to know she loves them.
She and her younger sister, Mulu, have been through a lot in their lives. They lived with their grandmother after their father killed their mother when they were little, and he went to prison. They were brought to New Hope with their brother, Dechessa. Aregu was 7 years old at the time. Their old grandma would come to visit them all on Sundays. In 2015, the unimaginable happened when Dechessa drowned while on summer break. One can only imagine how difficult this was for Aregu and Mulu who had lost so much already.

Officially founded in July 2012, Tomorrow Come Foundation is a nonprofit (501(c)(3)) organization specifically created to provide a safe home, to support a healthy life, and to foster growth through education for the children in and around New Hope Center for Children and Handicapped in Guder, Ethiopia.

This education is not only school-related, but also includes learning skills like farming, sewing, cooking, building, and any other skills that will help the children be successful in life. By educating them in this way, Tomorrow Come Foundation hopes to empower the children to be productive citizens and future leaders of their community, country, and world.
