Supporting Sponsorships

From: $50.00 / month

We are currently funding ~275 students in Addis, Ethiopia at the Bright Futures Academy. With excessive 30% inflation rates in Ethiopia over the past few years, it now takes over $100 per month to cover a single student’s tuition, school expenses, food & health needs. In conjunction with the Student Sponsorship Program, this $50.00 per month program helps fully support these students.

Description

Awake & Alive is a champion for educating children in Ethiopia, Africa. The children and families served by Awake & Alive in the Kechene slum (located in the capital of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa) are among the poorest and most marginalized people in Ethiopia.

Some call them cursed. Awake & Alive calls them blessed.

To further its purpose, Awake & Alive has partnered with Bright Future, a highly reputable Ethiopian nonprofit organization. Together, Awake & Alive and Bright Future opened a school and tutoring center in Kechene for 185 of the poorest and most marginalized children in Ethiopia. Currently, the all-Ethiopian staff provides full educational services for 4 to 7-year-old children, a large majority of which are orphans or half-orphans (one parent deceased). In addition, Bright Future provides medical and general health education for the widows of the half-orphan students.
