About the Cause
Poor health and nutrition negatively affect children’s school attendance and ability to learn. We implement school feeding programs that look for alternative ways to ensure sustainable supply of nutritious foods to school children and young people in urban and marginalized areas.
In addition, contaminated water and poor sanitation are big factors that result in the death of children worldwide. In our programs, we always include what is called WASH which means Water, Sanitation & Hygiene. This is done through the design and construction of child-friendly and gender sensitive facilities for sanitation, such as latrines and hand-washing stations. We also provide clean water supply by building water wells and raise awareness about the importance of sanitation and hygiene.
My Story
I am a patriotic citizen of Ethiopia and a permanent resident in the UAE. Ethiopia is the origin of humankind, the beginning of civilization, the origin of coffee, and the symbol of anti-colonialism. Thousands of years ago, When Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) saw the persecution to which his followers were subjected in Mecca, he told them to find safe haven in northern Ethiopia, where they would "find a king there who does not wrong anyone. It was the first hijra (migration) in Islamic history". Ethiopians at that time accepted and treated all the guests with great respect. Those same Ethiopians now are facing hunger and famine. . you can help by donating and your support is key for millions of Ethiopians facing hunger and famine.
