Sponsorship program of the local NGO we support. We recruit sponsors, manage their donations, and grant the donation to the NGO. In 2023 over 230 children were sponsored.

Children receive a daily meal, hygiene supplies monthly, and educational supplies for school throughout the school year, a school uniform, supplemental clothing/shoes, and medical care as needed. The funding pays for all the services to the children, it pays the facility rent for the drop-in center, and covers the salaries/expenses of running the program and having staff. Additionally, 170 more children who were unsponsored participated in the program. 38971 34725 0 We support a local NGO in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia called I Care Ethiopia.
