In the heart of Addis Ababa, Ajaiba and her four sisters faced the harsh reality of living in a plastic house, devoid of water and electricity, with no paternal figure to guide them through life's challenges. The odds seemed insurmountable, but their story took a remarkable turn when the Caza Con Foundation stepped in to make a difference.

Ajaiba and Zineba's mother, determined to lift her family out of poverty, was given an injera machine by the foundation. This seemingly simple gesture became the catalyst for a transformative journey. The machine didn't just churn out traditional Ethiopian flatbreads; it symbolized hope, resilience, and the potential for a better life.
The aroma of freshly made injera wafted through the air, signaling not only a source of sustenance but also the birth of a small business that could alter the course of their lives, providing the family with a sustainable income.
Ajaiba and her sister Zineba, once confined by the limitations of their circumstances, now had the opportunity to attend school with all expenses paid by Caza Con Foundation, breaking the cycle of generational poverty. Education opened doors to new possibilities, empowering them to dream beyond the confines of their plastic home.
The Caza Con Foundation's support became a beacon of change, demonstrating the profound impact that access to resources, education, and opportunities can have on the lives of women and children worldwide.
