Biruktawit Abayneh

Bituktawit understands what it is like to be a child with only hope to carry you forward. Biruk lost her father at a young age and her mother was trying to keep her family together without having an income to support her three children. Biruk remembers at 4 years old, praying to God that someone would help her family. Literally the next day there was a knock on her door telling her mother that they has a sponsor that was going to let Biruk attend a feeding center. Her mother would not have to worry about feeding at least one of her children AND Biruk was going to be attending a private school. Those sponsors were Courtney and Daryel Gullett.

Biruk graduated from college in 2023 and is now pursuing her Masters degree in Christian Leadership. While attending school her responsibilities as In Country Director keep her busy and traveling. Her love and understanding of the children Love For Ethiopia serves is evident in everything she does.
