SAFE Project
The Student And Family Education Project (also called the SAFE Project) exists to afford poor families the ability to send their children to school, preventing these children from turning to the streets for their livelihoods. In providing school fees and family support the SAFE Project team creates relationships and opportunities that point the students and their family members to Christ.
Location: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Project Details:
There are currently 80 children attending 14 different schools involved in the SAFE Project. In addition to assisting these children’s families to pay for school, the project also provides home visitation by a Social Worker as well as Saturday programs hosted at Children’s Home Ethiopia’s Drop-In Center. Each student is put into a team of 20 students and attends the Saturday programs once every month with his or her team. During the Saturday programs students participate in tutoring, learn about Jesus, play games, and enjoy tea time.
Project Potential:
The SAFE Project is strategically working with children who would likely otherwise turn to the streets of Addis Ababa for their livelihoods. In partnering with these children and their families the SAFE Project has the potential to develop even further in the future to more specifically work with the children’s families to produce micro-enterprise solutions to their economic crises.
