Mesfiney's Love foundation
On Friday the 23rd of October, Mebrak attended as a guest speaker for Mesfiney’s Love Foundation, which was set up in memory of Mesfin by his mother, Nebiat. The event took place at Adulis restaurant in London and raised a grand total of £3000 towards the cause.
The foundation’s main objective is to promote and protect the physical and mental health of children in Eritrea, in particular but not exclusively those with disabilities through the provision of facilities through their health and education.
The foundation is in partnership with the Eritrean Relief Association UK (ERA-UK) which was set up in 1976 by a group of Eritrean refugees together with British supporters of the Eritrean struggle for independence.
Over the last two decades, ERA-UK has challenged the effects of drought, famine and war by raising funds to run effective relief and health and community-based programmes, both in the liberated parts of the country, and in refugee camps in Sudan.
The work of ERA-UK also includes long term development programmes in primary healthcare, education, employment and rehabilitation of refugees and internally displaced people.
We got the chance to speak to Mebrak and she told us why she supports the cause:
“Every child has a right to education, supporting all children ultimately means that they will be able to support themselves and society in the future”
