Partners In The Horn Of Africa Ethiopian Blog
This blog allows Ethiopians to tell their stories about how Partners in the Horn of Africa has made a difference. It will also give Yehalem Metiku, our Partners In The Horn Of Africa Country Representative, a chance to tell you about our progress.
Partners in the Horn of Africa works to support the people of Ethiopia, the largest country in the “Horn Of Africa”, with infrastructure, health & welfare and women’s anti-poverty projects. We are non-denominational and are a registered Canadian charity.
Partners is unique in that 100% of all donations go directly to aid projects in Ethiopia, because the Canadian directors of Partners volunteer their time in running the organization and along with some private benefactors, pay for all administrative and travel expenses.
Second, with each project, our African ‘partner’… usually an indigenous charity or a village… is required to contribute 15 to 20% of the project costs (usually in the form of labour) and participates as a 'partner' in all decisions relating to the project. This feature empowers local communities and ensures that the project is responsive to local needs.
We invite you to learn more about Partners and Ethiopia. The problems are immense, but the support from Canadians does make a difference in the lives of many Ethiopians. We are helping empower Ethiopians to take charge of their own future…we are having an impact in the Horn of Africa.
