Mahder’s journey is a powerful illustration of the positive ripple effect your donations create within a family and a community.
📚 A Young Leader and Role Model
Mahder, who comes from a family with two sets of twins, embodies exceptional leadership and responsibility at a very young age.
-
Family Impact: He actively encourages his twin and two younger twin siblings to prioritize their studies and develop strong reading habits. He frequently brings his youngest brothers to the Gebeta Library, where he personally assists them with schoolwork and cultivates their interest in books. Your support enables this crucial peer-to-peer mentoring.

Community Inspiration: Mahder’s consistent dedication and enthusiasm earned him the prestigious title of “Best Reader of the Month” earlier this year. He stands out as a role model, inspiring his peers and serving as a testament to the motivation the library fosters.
Beyond his impressive literacy skills, Mahder is also an outstanding young artist, demonstrating the holistic development that the library environment encourages.
💖 Mahder: A Promoter of the Library’s Mission
Mahder Moges is more than just a library user; he is a true promoter of the Gebeta Library’s mission. His positive influence ensures that the love for reading and learning extends beyond the library walls and deep into his own family unit.
