Mebrahtu – Sailor in Motion (JRS Series #18)

Mebrahtu is a sailor from Eritrea living in a #refugee camp in Ethiopia. Because he comes from the present-day Eritrean capital, unlike his wife and children, he is not considered an Ethiopian citizen. He, therefore, has no other choice but to live in a refugee camp, far away from his family.

The #JRS #MercyinMotion campaign aims to provide 240,000 refugee children and youth with access to education by the year 2020. The campaign was launched on 8 December 2015 with the Holy Year of Mercy.
