"The most beautiful person we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of th depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and deep-loving concern."

Safia (38) is from Adamitullu Jiddo Kombolcha district in Ethiopia. A combination of environmental degradation, prolonged drought and bursts of heavy rain has decimated her herd of cattle and her crops. Safia has been forced to sell off some land to put food on the table and has had to send some of her children to live with relatives elsewhere. The destruction of her family has been particularly devastating for her. Safia is a community activist who has been in promoting tree planting as a way to preserve the soils and has given testimony at a local climate hearing.



GIVES PEOPLE HOPE
