Tsehay was born in 2008 in the village of Addis Ababa. Her beautiful name means "sun". Tsehay lives with her aunt, who is struggling to provide for her basic needs. Tsehay attends Bright Hope School and loves learning math and science. Her favorite food is egg crumb, and her favorite color is blue. In her free time, Tsehay enjoys reading books. Tsehay's education is very important to her and she asks for prayers as she strives to achieve her goal to one day become a doctor. She also asks for prayers for the children of her country living in rural areas to receive better educational opportunities.

Ethiopia is located in East Africa and has the second-largest population among all African countries. Approximately 78% of Ethiopians struggle to survive on an income of less than $2 per day. The nation has faced challenges such as civil wars, famine, drought, and the spread of diseases like leprosy. Ethiopia’s widespread poverty has resulted in nationwide hunger, malnutrition, and preventable diseases, all of which account for at least 60% of the country's health problems. Despite facing significant challenges, Ethiopia possesses a rich culture and a long history worth celebrating.
