Ethiopia ; photos of various building and gardening activities that have been taking place in the compound of our girls’ hostel in Shakiso town. Some of the photos show the land before it was cultivated We are so encouraged by the quality of work that is being done by the newly elected management team for our partner organisation (Unity Development Association, UDA) in Ethiopia. Elfneh and his team and partners are most concerned about the living conditions of young girls and persevere to improve their future potentials and circumstances.

Philippines - support for families

Collection boxes Aghalee and Aghagallon  February/March, 2021

Many  thanks from A Ray of Hope, UNESCO Youth Ambassador for the Culture of Peace to the proprietors, staff,  and customers of  Aghalee Centra, Aghalee Pharmacy, Aghalee  Building and Agricultural Supplies,  and Hannons  Fruit and Vegetables, Aghagallon. 

The generosity of everyone is overwhelming. Many years ago a large typhoon made hundreds of families in the Philippines homeless. These communities  are still very disadvantaged and the monies raised will assist in purchasing food packages for the most necessitous in their milieu.

Nigeria ; Domestic science workshops

 After  a nearly 4 month “lay off” there is some light at the end of the tunnel at least with regard to our projects. Covid and the closure of several financial institutions prevented progress and development.  In Nigeria, Dr. Raphael and his team were the first to break the ice  and provide  domestic science ,bakery and cookery workshops and demonstrations for 150 students  in the disadvantaged  rural suburbs-   well done all involved and a special thanks to  Ade.
