Emmanuel Orphans Development
Association-Educational Programs
Our mission is to care for
orphaned and disadvantaged
children within our community.
We provide comprehensive aid and
care to poor and needy children
so that they may pursue and
complete their educations to as
high a level as they desire and
are capable of achieving.
EODA’s is a certified non-profit
orphan’s development project,
working in the Woliso District
in rural Ethiopia; we gained our
legal status in December, 2005.
Woliso is situated 119
kilometers southwest of the
capital city of Addis Ababa. It
lies in a magnificent high land
terrain and is home to 233, 000
people, but like many other
parts of the country, it is
raked by poverty. The World
Heath Organization “WHO”,
estimated in June of 2005, there
are 4.7 million children
orphaned in Ethiopia and UNCEF
predicts the number will double
by 2014. This epidemic is being
fuelled by poverty, drought, the
lack of education, health care
and the wide spread distribution
of HIV/AIDS. Woliso has not
escaped the scourge. We are
addressing the needs of both
orphaned and disadvantaged
children within the community.
According to Save the Children
Woliso AI (2004), “47% of the
school age children do not have
the opportunity to receive an
educated due to poverty.” We are
also providing educated support
for an additional 90 poor
children in the form of; school
fees, books, uniforms and
admittance to our after school
program.
We provide educational support
to 90 children in need in the
form school fee, exercise book,
pen, pencil reference books.
We are currently providing
tutorial classes for 90
children.
With additional donation we hope
to create access for basic needs
of the 90 children at risk in
the form of supplementary food
material, clothing and
subsidizing them by money for
the house rent. We hope in the
future to also provide help for
90 children to obtain health
care support
Expand our after school program
to include an additional 50
children.
Provide funds for children that
wish to attend secondary
educational and technical
training programs.
