COVID 19

We provide education - water and sanitation - emergency food.

We also help communities recover.

HOW WE WORK

Our approach is based on a simple principle.

Members of the poor communities themselves are the people with the insights, determination, perseverance – and responsibility – to care for their own children and to improve their own situations.

We are:

Child-centred

We believe that children should be cared for in their own community

Community-based

Our projects are planned, managed and staffed by local people

Integrated

We respond to all the needs of children within their community

This approach has so far given a new life to 325,000 children

EMERGENCY
Ethiopia is going through a period of violence and tension with conflict in some areas, including Tigray, parts of Shoa and Benishangul Gummuz.
We monitor the situation carefully, and work with government, other agencies and community groups to build a stable society for all.
All our projects continue safely.
We are responding to the emergency by caring for those driven from their homes and supporting them in Displaced Persons Camps.
We continue to work with communities across the country in building sustainable and supportive communities.
In these sad times, we remain committed to the people and communities of Ethiopia, and believe in their resourcefulness and courage in building new futures.
