Ezana, Addis and their two children (daughter Yabsra, 8, and son David, 2) have lived in Lincoln in a tiny one bedroom apartment for the last three years. As their children have grown, the space has become insufficient. The children love to ride bikes and play outdoors, but their apartment complex lacks sufficient safe space for play. Also, to keep their bicycles safe they store them inside their small apartment.

The family is looking forward to having a backyard for the children to play safely and a neighborhood to make lots of friends. Ezana and Addis’ home will be completed this fall and is located near the Habitat for Humanity home offices! A home dedication ceremony will be announced soon.

Due to generous donations, Sheridan gives $5,000 to support the Faithbuild 2020 house.

Thanks to all who gave so generously to the BackPack Program! We raised more than $13,000. Thank you! Backpack packing and Friday distribution begins in October. Stay tuned to announcements regarding volunteers we need to make this outreach successful. 

Tanzania scholarship funding was sent this summer to help sponsor students in school. Through your generosity, we are sponsoring 130 students at five schools. We are funding the renovation of science labs at Masama Girls School as well as providing a university scholarship for a young adult studying to be a teacher. Pray for these students as they continue in their studies.
