What does a 13 years old girl normally do?

Go to school, watch YouTube videos, chat with friends, enjoy their hobby... these may be some answers you have in mind.

But not for this girl, her name is Letikiros.

Her friends and neighbors described her as visionary and unique. She was bright. She was beautiful. She was clever.

But she had to do something different because of where she stayed.

Letikiros would wake up 4 days a week, even before the days are bright to walk.

Walk to the water source to take water back for her family.

She would grab her clay pot, tie it to her back with a rope, and the whole trip back and forth takes about 6 hours of walking.

One day, she went out for a walk earlier to the water source before she take breakfast, hoping that she would have a shorter wait. And that was the last time her friends saw her.

At 4 p.m. a man found her lifeless body swinging from a tree, a rope tied around her neck.

No one will ever know exactly what went through the mind of Letikiros in the moments that followed. What is known, is that she somehow slipped and fell, smashing her clay pot full of water into small pieces. She must have watched in horror as the water spilled out on the dusty ground and abruptly considered the harsh reality of her situation. More than 10 hours of walking and waiting had been undone through a simple misstep.

Those who knew her well believed she must have been overcome with shame.

She knew her mother and sister were at home waiting for the water.

She knew they needed her water to cook dinner.

And now, even the clay pot was destroyed - a valuable asset for the family.

So rather than continue home down the path empty handed, the 13-year-old child slipped the rope from the pot through the branches of a tree, then around her neck and hung herself.
