Maritu is a very cheerful girl who lives with her parents and two siblings in a neighborhood with poor hygiene and shortage of medical facilities. She is in grade 1 and her favorite subject is Afan Oromo, local language. Her mother is a housewife and she takes care of the family. Her father is a farmer, and his minimal income is not enough to cover even their most basic needs. They plan to change their lives by being engaged in modern farming and agriculture. This can be achieved if they get some support and encouragement. The family lives in a small room made up of mud and wood with no running water and toilet. The nearby school and health center lack basic equipment and qualified professionals. In order to overcome the poverty Maritu is facing, she needs a helping hand.
