Since this was written we lost another very bright young student. Goday (pictured here) is the mother of one of our students, who recently went …

Alamsai works at the Mother’s Cooperative and Titthena is a first grader with a beautiful spirit and a smile that is both shy and frequent. Titthena and Workay’s daughter Bazawit are best friends, and so the friendship developed between their mothers.

When Workay became too ill to work, Alamsai took over the task of feeding her. In the Mother’s Cooperative, they are true sisters and one more example of the miracle that is Fresh and Green.

There were eleven of us that day: six volunteers, Muday, Workay and Bazawit, and Workay’s friend Alamsai, and her daughter Titthena. Alamsai has been keeping Workay alive, bringing food every day – an almost unimaginable sacrifice in a city where food is so scarce. Such is the sisterhood that exists between the mothers in the cooperative.

By telling their stories, we hope you will be touched by their remarkable resiliance, fortitude and dedication to their children. The Mothers’ Cooperative, started by Muday, is a neighborhood outreach program like no other: it is lifting entire families and an entire neighborhood out of poverty and into a new life full of promise.
