Meet Mekides, an adorable baby who lives with her parents in the Wolayta area of southern Ethiopia. Both her parents are students, and her father works as a driver in his free time to support the family.
Mekides was born with a birth defect in a sensitive area, causing serious complications that will persist if untreated. After undergoing emergency surgery, she now requires further treatment.
