Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Programmes

Seven objectives, one connected approach.

Health, livelihoods, environment, engagement, governance, leadership and technology are not separate projects for us. They are strands of a single effort to build a healthier, inclusive and sustainable Ethiopia for all.

In detail

What each objective covers

Open any objective to see the focus areas we work on within it.

We invest in the knowledge, skills and confidence of the people who drive change — women, young people and community leaders — so that local solutions are led locally.

  • Leadership development and mentorship
  • Capacity building and practical skills training
  • Women's leadership and representation
  • Coaching, networking and knowledge exchange

We contribute to a healthier society by promoting health awareness, prevention and well-being, with particular attention to women, children and young people.

  • Community health awareness and education
  • Maternal, child and adolescent well-being
  • Prevention, hygiene and nutrition
  • Mental health and psychosocial support

We help households build sustainable livelihoods through practical skills, enterprise support and clearer pathways to employment and self-reliance.

  • Vocational and employability skills
  • Small enterprise and entrepreneurship support
  • Access to finance and market linkages
  • Savings groups and financial literacy

We promote environmentally responsible practice — from tree planting and land restoration to climate awareness and green enterprise that creates value without harming the planet.

  • Tree planting and land restoration
  • Climate change awareness and adaptation
  • Waste management and clean environments
  • Green skills and eco-enterprise

We work side by side with communities — listening first and co-designing programmes that respond to real, locally defined priorities.

  • Participatory community assessment
  • Co-design with local stakeholders
  • Volunteer and civic mobilisation
  • Dialogue, awareness and social accountability

We hold ourselves to high standards of governance, transparency and accountability — and we help strengthen the wider civil-society ecosystem we belong to.

  • Transparency and accountability
  • Partnership and coalition building
  • Learning, monitoring and evaluation

We harness technology, data and innovation to make our work smarter, more inclusive and more measurable — and to widen access to knowledge.

We start in the community, understanding real needs, assets and priorities before proposing anything.

Co-design

We shape the response together with community members, local leaders and partners.

Deliver

Learn & Scale

We measure what changed, learn honestly, and grow what works with the right partners.
