Our Projects
The “Tesfa Manoriya Bota” Assessment Centre
This is often the first contact we have with Street Kids. They are brought in from the Streets, cleaned up, given new clothes and fed. Our trained team then works with them over the course of 3-6 months to work out what is the best next step for each child.
Reunification
We want every child, where possible, to return to their family and remain there. Our Ethiopian staff trace families, assess situations and determine if reunification is the best choice for a child. We then work closely with each family to help them stay together for good.
Group Homes
When we rescue orphaned children from the streets, or find children who may have been in an abusive home environment which it would not be safe to return the child to, we place them in a “Group Home”. Typically these will consist of eight or nine boys who have previously spent a transitional period in our Tesfa Manoriya Bota.
Hope365 Academy
Education is key to helping break the poverty cycle for good. We believe every child, no matter their background, has the right to education. Every day we teach over 380 of the poorest children in Shashemene, as well as providing breakfast and lunch.
Income Generation
We know we need to have a sustainable impact on vulnerable families. An impact that will give them self-sufficiency and the ability to stay together as a family. That’s why we created our Income Generating Scheme. This Scheme gives out micro loans to struggling families, at 0% interest, so that they can buy animals, equipment or supplies to start their own business.
