This is a quarterly project report of Yengat Birhan Charity Organization on school support for 130 orphan children from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Report period from January– April, 2023

Dear our partner, thank you for supporting us in changing others life!

Introduction

Yengat Birhan Charity organization is an indigenous humanitarian organization that works on children education, women empowerment and health since 2016. The main support areas includes supporting women in income generating activates, providing school materials and tutorial class with snack for school children in order for them to  perform better at school and creating awareness on health related issues and covering health care costs for those who are in need of it.

On the reporting period, the organization performed different activities under the school support project for the 130 (65 female and 65 male) school children. We were providing tutorial class, stationary materials, and sanitary pad for female students, hair oil, laundry soap, ethics class and mentoring support with snack as the plan.  Related with the service we provide, we were forced to provide different types of support for 85 sponsored children and for 45 none sponsored children because of budget deficit.

ü  In order to use our limited class rooms and instructors effectively we provided Ethics class for one hour per week by dividing 130 children in to two groups, every Monday for the 45 non-sponsored children and every Tuesday for the 85 sponsored children, with different types of snack like egg sandwich, lentil sandwich and potato sandwich alternatively with milk and tea. And for both group, we paid the tutorial class fees monthly and we provided the first deworming medication on March for all 130 students.

The additional supports for 85 school children, for those who have individual sponsor were the following:

ü  Once per week we provided them lentil sandwich, egg sandwich and potato sandwich alternatively with milk and tea while they were attending boys and girls clubs for students whose age is above 12 and for the students age below 12 provided it while they were attending music and art club. This helps them to bring behavioral change, character, and communication and express their feeling freely and to asking their question.

ü  We provided personal hygiene materials like sanitary pads for 26 female students per month and a bottle of hair oil (250ml) every three month for 85 students.

ü  We also provided three bars of laundry soaps (250gm) for student over the course of three months, stationery material: one exercise book, one eraser, one sharpener, one pencil and one pen quarterly for 85 sponsored.

ü  For three students, who need additional support from the organization received their monthly milk powder, food items and house rent fee according to their specific needs. 

ü  Students have football training and games on every Saturday.

We organized an Easter celebration for our 130 students on April. The purpose of celebrating the holyday was to have a get together day with students and staffs and to create smooth and friendly environment. We played different games, served non-fasting food package and soft drinks, and celebrated Easter with the students. The students were very grateful and happy.

Therefore, don’t forget your contribution is doing a great work and you’re influencing much in changing others life for better tomorrow. 

We want to thank all of you who participated in our charity work, your support made a difference in the work we do.  Without you it is impossible to do this.

Thank you again!
