In the heart of Addis Ababa, courageous single mothers are fighting against incredible odds to give their children a better future. Despite working long hours, these determined women often find themselves trapped in a cycle of poverty – not because they lack drive or determination, but because they haven’t had access to the right opportunities.

Imagine being a mother with dreams for your children, but watching those dreams slip away because you can’t afford childcare while you work, or because you never had the chance to learn the skills needed for a better-paying job. This is the reality for nearly half of the children in Addis Ababa, who live in single-parent households led by mothers doing everything they can to make ends meet.

But you can help change their story. Through comprehensive vocational training and crucial childcare support, you can give these resilient mothers the tools they need to transform their lives. Your gift doesn’t just provide job training – it offers hope, independence, and the chance for mothers to show their children that a better future is possible.

Will you help a determined mother write a new chapter for her family?
