----->What is the point?
To
provide education and economic empowerment for children and their families to
transform lives and communities in Ethiopia.
----->Where do we work?
In the slum community of Kechene on the
north side of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
There is a severe lack of education in Kechene. This lack of education creates a high illiteracy rate and contributes heavily to extreme poverty; however, there are other dangers waiting for children who are not at their desks—including sexual abuse, unwanted pregnancy, child prostitution, and a vicious cycle of poverty and street life.
----->How have we made an impact?
We have opened an academy that has provided 68 street children with hope for
change. Giving them access to education, medical treatment and consistent
meals. The academy not only reaches the children but the support system behind
them providing health care and food for hundreds in the Kechene community. 
----->What is our vision? Our
vision is to become a full-blown, sustainable, academy. Raising leaders up to
transform the community of Kechene and beyond! We believe that our academy
holds Doctors, nurses, teachers, preachers, politicians, scientists, and engineers.
We also believe that there is a lot more
untapped talent out there that needs your support to be a part of our project!
