Canadian Humanitarian and Kids Hope
Ethiopia
|
Kid’s Hope Ethiopia is a unique project sponsored by Canadian
Humanitarian (www.canadianhumanitarian.com).
Presently in
Ethiopia,
there are 6 million children living as orphans.
Many have lost one or both of parents to disease
such as HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis.
Many are not able to attend school, though they
would love to.
The cost of school fees, books and uniforms makes
regular school attendance only a dream.
Canadian Humanitarian’s Kid’s Hope project is
allowing 100 children’s dream to attend school a reality.
Along the way the children’s, family and
community is given the opportunity to gain skills to climb out of poverty..

In 2005, Canadian Humanitarian partnered with a local
organization called Kid’s Hope Ethiopia to support a community based foster
care program where orphaned children can live in family settings and attend
school, while receiving emotional, social and physical support.
The children live in foster families and
attend an after school center called the Kid’s
Hope
Center.
At the Kid’s Hope Center 40 children were
initially enrolled in 2005.
This soon grew to 50 and now in 2 Kid’s
Hope Centers 100 children are being assisted.
