All the gifts on this website are needed. We work with our partner schools in Ethiopia to establish what their needs are and we always ensure that our resourcing projects provide the most benefit for the whole community. Although we supply the money and guidance, generally, all the materials used in our schools are locally sourced and big projects such as classrooms and toilet blocks are constructed by the local community; in this way we ensure that the community have a stake in the project and can contribute as equal partners.
We currently operate in schools in northern Ethiopia, directly supporting over 40,000 Ethiopian children. We are constantly expanding to find new partner schools, particularly in rural communities where there is often the greatest need and the greatest lack of resources. We attempt to spread our projects evenly throughout our partner schools, aiming for equal quality of development in more prosperous urban areas and poorer rural areas.
Every time a school joins our network, we visit them to ascertain their needs and discuss future joint-projects to overcome any obstacles to satisfying the needs of their communities for quality education. Our Country Manager in Ethiopia keeps in regular contact with all our schools and measures the progress and success of projects so that we can adapt to changing needs and circumstances.
When you buy a gift, such as new furniture or clean running water, it will be allocated to one of our partner schools who needs it most. Sometimes we will be able to combine your gift with other peoples to fund larger and wider reaching projects. Sometimes we may need to use your gift for a closely related project to ensure that we support the greatest needs of our partner schools. But you can be assured that if, for example, you buy a library related gift, your money will fund library projects. Or if, for example, you buy a gift relating to toilets and sanitation, your money will fund sanitation projects.
