Our Focus
Putting Children First
With about 126.5 million people (2023), more than half of Ethiopia’s population consists of children and youth under 24 years. Despite progress, widespread poverty and inequality continue to hinder millions of children from realizing their full potential.
That’s why we work to connect children with the people, institutions, and resources they need to grow up healthy, educated, skilled, and safe. Through our programs, we aim to reach 13 million children and their families across Ethiopia every year.

Bringing Play-Based Learning to Life: “Come Play With Me!”
Play is essential to a child’s growth and learning. The “Come Play With Me!” project brings play-based learning to life by helping parents and caregivers create fun, inclusive, engaging, and stimulating environments that support early childhood development.
Our Work
Health, Education, Skills and Safety - For Every Child.
Unlocking a child’s full potential begins with meeting their holistic needs. That’s why we take a whole-child approach, focusing on health, education, skills, and safety, to support children from early years to young adulthood.
We work hand-in-hand with families, communities, governments, and children themselves to drive meaningful, lasting change. Our programs are proven and scalable, centering communities as leaders and change-makers. In the 6 regions where we are already making a difference, we are creating models that can be replicated across all of Ethiopia
