Our Accreditations

Children in 50 schools across Ethiopia will soon receive needed text books because of a new Children?s Hope partnership. A huge shipping container, in Washington D.C., is now being loaded by volunteers with 30,000 textbooks, encyclopedias and some literature.

Children?s Hope Ethiopia will distribute these books that have been donated to The World Bank Family Network. Four times a year, since 1982, WBFN volunteers have shipped donated books to developing countries. The organization?s goal is to provide to the most disadvantaged and those without access to books. WBFN hasn?t been able to make a delivery to Ethiopia until this year when Children?s Hope agreed to become a distributor.

Over the past several weeks, Children?s Hope Ethiopia developed the list of 50 schools in three regions that desperately need books. A profile of the school?s students and needs were provided to WBFN so that the proper textbooks would be shipped for that particular school.

The container packed with thousands of books will be loaded on to an ocean going cargo ship toward the end of this month. Children?s Hope staff will take delivery of the shipping container when it arrives in a Djibouti port city sometime in May. Shortly after, children throughout Ethiopia will receive the gift of books that will help propel them to a brighter future.
