Kelemework Yimam

The assistance that I was given by others to remove obstacles and barriers in my life inspired me to develop the desire and passion to help others. Wegene gave me an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others and create a positive change.

The saying that comes to mind is Barack Obama’s “The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope”. My vision for Wegene is to keep providing hope in the impoverished communities we serve. I want us to be able create a safe and peaceful environment where each child can achieve his or her fullest potential. The Wegene family here in the U.S. and in Ethiopia are an important part of my life and hold a very special place in my heart.
