SPONSORING 60 CHILDREN FOR THEIR SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND TO MEET THEIR FOOD NEEDS

Since 2016, we've been supporting 60 children in Addis Ababa, providing essential school supplies like pens, uniforms, and books at a cost of $125 per child annually. For families facing extreme hardship, we've extended our support by covering their food expenses, also at $125 per child per year.

Included below are images showcasing some of the students we assist, along with group photos featuring their families. Dr. Mekbib Alemu graciously volunteers to oversee their progress, ensuring their needs are met, and regularly visits them to offer encouragement to stay in school. As of last year, it’s encouraging to see 5 students graduated with college diploma, 3 in their last year at high school and 3 enrolled in diploma or university.

This year (Ethiopian 2017) we have:

2 in universities, one beginning and another in their second year
6 in Vocational Colleges at different levels
7 preparing to the national examination at grade 12
9 youngsters in high school (9-11)
28 kids in primary school (Grade 1-8)

We will be adding 5 children this year (2024-2025) to support a total of 60 children.

Here's an overview reflecting the cumulative count of children who have been part of this program over the past seven years, spanning from 2016 to 2023 (2008-2015 Ethiopian Calendar). We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our generous donors whose support has been instrumental throughout these years.
