A Story of Hope, Compassion, and Transformation
Bekelech Delesa is a mother of four children living in difficult circumstances. Among her children is Jitu, a child with a disability who requires special care and support. Bekelech herself faces significant challenges, as she has lost both of her legs and has struggled to provide for her family while living in poverty.
For the past three years, Jitu has been supported through the compassionate ministry of Ekklesia Oromia Nonprofit Organization, under the leadership of Pastor Solomon Negassa and Sister Jalete Homa. Their commitment to helping vulnerable children and families has brought hope and encouragement to Bekelech and her children during some of the most difficult years of their lives.
Recognizing the need for a long-term and sustainable solution, Ekklesia Oromia developed a small business project to help Bekelech become self-reliant. The organization proposed establishing a small retail shop that would provide a steady source of income for her family.
To make this vision a reality, Ekklesia Oromia sought financial support and requested Jale Ayana Wakjera, the owner of Mesob Catering, to assist in funding and constructing the shop. Without hesitation, Jale Ayana agreed to support the project. Through her generosity and financial contribution, the shop was built and equipped for Bekelech to begin operating her own business.
Today, Bekelech proudly owns and manages her own store. The shop has become a source of dignity, stability, and hope, enabling her to provide for her children and improve their quality of life. What once seemed impossible has become a reality because of the kindness and generosity of caring individuals and organizations.
Jale Ayana Wakjera has consistently demonstrated a heart for helping underprivileged families. She is also a valued financial supporter of the Ekklesia Oromia Bojii Orphan Program, providing assistance that is changing the lives of vulnerable children and families. Her generosity, compassion, and willingness to serve others make her an exemplary community leader and a true role model.
On behalf of Bekelech Delesa and her family, as well as Ekklesia Oromia Nonprofit Organization, we extend our deepest gratitude to Jale Ayana Wakjera for her generous support and commitment to transforming lives. Your kindness has not only built a shop but has also restored hope, dignity, and opportunity for a family in need.
Thank you, Jale Ayana, for being a blessing to Bekelech and her family. May God richly bless you for your compassion, generosity, and dedication to serving those in need.
