Discover what we do for Every Child & our community

Medical Support/

Health and

Hygiene

The Organization is focusing on the community that is under the national poverty level who are not able to get medical treatment for themselves and their children. Thus lack of medication is escalating the level of poverty in our community. So, in the process of reducing the level of poverty through achieving the objectives of health care of our clients/children and guardians, it is so important to apply different techniques and act wisely that help the children and their parents get the medication service quickly.

Education

Education is free in the Government school, but families must still pay registration fees, and purchase uniforms and costly school materials. The fees present a significant barrier to families living below the national poverty line. These families have a difficult time justifying sending children to school, which both costs money and takes away the ability of children to earn money to support the family.

Children will have their school fees paid directly to the school each year or term for the participating children through Pre-primary school especially KG students in the private school. At the end of primary school, children must pass the exit exams to attend Primary and secondary school.

Children who live in the area of Abenezer Children’s Home have no access to school. The organization will construct a school with standardized latrines and a separate store office for the school at Kuyu Woreda, Gerbe Guracha Town. The organization has designed a project called ACH Kindergarten Facilities Fulfillment and Sustainable Management Support Project to access quality of education for children in the area. This project will be achieved by working with the government, community, and other partners who are working to ensure quality education for children particularly.

The Children should have medical care, education, and personal hygiene materials for including children to keep them healthy. Allocating health care budget and covering health care costs for every child in the Organization.
