POVERTY REDUCTION
The average Ethiopian exists on just £1 a day and 39% of the population live below the poverty line. It needn't be like this.
We support projects that work to provide not just a living, but also a livelihood for people in desperate need. From a small community centre for destitute elders to a project that is building safe homes with the help of local people, our projects are working tirelessly to provide the basic facilities and provisions that many of us take for granted.
With your help they can continue to do this and raise people in Ethiopia out of poverty.
CHAD-ET (Children Aid Ethiopia)
Chad-Et provide a safe place for children at risk of abuse, particularly child prostitution. They campaign on legal issues, provide legal advocacy for the children where needed and perform educational theatre productions to local communities.
