Lydia is 19 years old and lives in the Ras Mekonnen Dildi area of Addis Ababa with her parents, two sisters and one brother . Her dad is a day laborer and her mom is home with an illness. Lydia has completed the 12th grade and has always wanted to be a doctor but her grades would not qualify her for entrance into a medical program in the public university system. She would like to study Nursing, to be close to the field that she loves, but her family can not afford the cost of tuition for the private schools. She believes that a degree in Nursing would change her life and the circumstances her family lives under. EBS Inc. will enroll Lydia into a 3 year Nursing degree program at St. George Health College at a cost of 300Birr ($18) a month, beginning in September 2011. She will also receive funds for books, uniforms, and transportation to and from school.
