Story
On Sunday 26th November 2017 I took part in the Great Ethiopian 10k Run in aid of Saltergate Children’s Home in Addis Ababa.
Every year in Ethiopia hundreds of children are abandoned or orphaned. When this happens the prospects are bleak. With no welfare support thousands of children live on the streets and rely on begging to survive.
SCH, Ethiopia is establishing secure, legally-based homes in Ethiopia where children are sheltered, clothed, fed and have access to medical facilities and a progressive education. The homes provide a loving, caring environment founded on Christian principles, respect for culture and the strength of the family.
The close ties with communities and other charities in Ethiopia ensure that a supportive network is in place on the ground. In Addis Ababa there’s an Operations Manager and Children’s Home Manager who oversee the work. Communication between the homes in Ethiopia and the trustees is regular and ongoing.
The Great Ethiopian Run 10k event is the biggest running event in Africa with more than 37,000 participants, 500 elite runners and several hundred runners from overseas. The run takes place in the capital city of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, which is 8,000 feet above sea level making it a ‘must do’ event in the running calendar.
