Story
Based at St. Vincent's House in Mekele, Ethiopia the Daughters of Charity led by our friend Sr. Medhin Tesfay we are aiming to support 38 young women and their families gain sustainable business skills and assistance to offer a permanent pathway out of poverty for them and their families. Training will be offered in poultry, vocational and skills training. 8 students will be funded to attend college based training. 20 women will be trained for petty trade and skill development. 10 women and their families will be offered poultry training and given chickens to start their trading. The complete project will cost in the region £7000. We raised £3,500 last year & are trying to raise some of the funds via this page before we go to Ethiopia this November.
How you can help
£240 will pay for one of the 8 women to attend college for 10 months, £145 will pay for the business start up costs of one of the 20 women, £75 will pay for the chickens for one of the women , £20 will pay for the training in poultry, business and skills development for one of the women , £7.50 will pay for one chicken and its feed for the first year
