We are fundraising for :

So that as many poor Ethiopian children as possible get the education they deserve.

Through jumping you will be helping children such as:

Kalkidan - like so many of the children at the school has only one parent, due to the death of the other.

Withou a father, Kalkidan's mother struggles to support her family.

Jobs in Ethiopia are scarce, with this being especially true of small towns like Nazareth, where without qualifications and a decent education, the future with a job is simply a dream.

However, Kalkidan’s mother is determined to give her daughter a promising future, thus approached the school, and secured a free place.

On her own side, Kalkidan’s mother is proving that she is doing her best for her family through selling small items such as peanuts, tissues and sweets from a basket at the side of the street.
