Ayantu Desta, 33, is a civil servant working at Nedjo Woreda Transport Authority Office and lives in Nedjo town, in West Wollega Zone of Oromia regional state. She is married and has three children. When the IDPS from Benishangul Gumuz region crowded Nedjo town in September 2018, Ayantu sheltered them near her home and provided them with food and clothing although she already had meager resources. She regularly shared the family breakfast with the displaced children who had nothing to eat in the morning.
