BELOW IS A SNAPSHOT OF SOME OF OUR WORK IN ETHIOPIA. Here is a short video of our work 1. We are funding education/tutors for about 130 children of former prostitutes in the city of Adama. For the mothers, we conducted workshops on hygiene, STD/HIV, post-abortion care and parenting skills. 2. For our school partner, Birhan Academy, we've put down 3000 square feet of gravel in order to reduce dust and divert rain water. We also built a 50 foot diameter, shaded concrete pad where the children could gather outdoors. Additionally, your partnership helped us fund and build multiple new classrooms. This is in addition to building an 8 stall latrine, installing a 16 spigot water system and building a security fence around the school. Through your generosity, we've helped increase the capacity of the school and the number of students has grown from 450 to more than 700 over the past several years. 3. Arukah Global has funded and worked on home repair/rebuild of nearly 25 dwellings that were occupied primarily by elderly widows or single mothers. As needed, we assisted with medical interventions and the purchasing of new bedding and basic supplies. 4. As an organization, we continue to be a strong supporter of Compassion International and encourage team members to sponsor children in Ethiopia. We have been a catalyst to seeing roughly 150 children sponsored. 5. We continue to partner and serve with the CDTRC (Child Development Training & Research Center) in various capacities including home repair, providing meals as a means for outreach in the community of Sendafa, and curriculum development. 5. We are currently in the planning phase of working with our Ethiopian partners to develop curriculum to mentor young boys/men. Single mothers, fatherless children, the spread of HIV, 10% of women becoming prostitutes, corruption, drug and alcohol addiction are closely tied to the lack of healthy male examples for boys on their way to manhood. 2024 will be a time for us to further engage with current Ethiopian partners and explore new initiatives. Please join us! |
