Support for the young
We empower youth, street children and orphans in Addis Ababa and in Melka Uda, Shashamane, 250 km south of Addis Ababa and support:
- J.R.D.C. School / international kindergarten
- Yawentas Children’s Center
- RasTafari Family Center, Addis Ababa (mission)
For more background information on our partners, please see the links page.
All donations made via UPIA flow directly into the projects mentioned above and into related social infrastructure.
The aim is to maintain and improve their core capabilities so that the whole community is served and can grow.
Shashemane:
Yabtsega (literally “God’s Glory”) needs your help!
All donations referring to Yabtsega or Selam will therefore be used to buy all necessary items required directly, wherefore it is also intended to create a bank account for the boy as soon as possible to finally improve Yabtsegas future outlook with personal sponsorships in a long term view.
Get involved and show a sign!
