For Endashawu, seeing kids successfully treated with clubfoot is his greatest joy in working for Hope Walks. Through the process, he sees many broken families mended through the process of sharing Christ’s love.

Seeing the transformation of a child’s foot from twisted to straight is one of Daniel’s greatest joys about working for Hope Walks. But he also likes to older children who have now graduated from the treatment program walking on straight feet. Prior to working with Hope Walks, Daniel worked for Humanity Inclusion and Cheshire Ethiopia. He holds a BSC degree in Physiotheraphy from the University of Gondar. When not working on correcting kids’ feet, he might be found playing his guitar or attending church programs.

For Meaza, the most best part of being a councelor is knowing how you are affecting someone else’s life for the good and giving hope to the hopeless. Inspiring others to be all that they are capable of being, so that they can go out into the world and pay it forward by helping others keeps her going each day. Meaza began her work with Hope Walks in 2020. Before working for Hope Walks, she worked in the Austrian Embassy. She holds a degree in Economics from Haramaya University and a degree in Christian Counseling from Evangelical Theological College. In her spare time, she enjoys studying God’s word, praying and visiting family.
