Fr. Michael Fitzsimons and Anna Bourke are asking for your help.

Based out of 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 but we are trying to raise some of the funds via this page!
