Sponsor a Child today!
Did you know that 11 million children die each year before the age of five - that is about 30,000 every day - because they have not received the care they deserve as a right. This dreadful reality must change.

ChildFund Ireland and CCF Ethiopia have been development partners in grant- funded projects since 2004 when they began to collaborate on a water project in Amhara region, just north of the capital Addis Ababa. Since then some large and small have been successfully completed including a food security project in Wonago, a rural area about 400 kms south of Addis Ababa.
Today, the partnership centres on Irish Aid funded projects in the capital Addis Ababa, and in the rural districts of Shashamene and Siraro in Oromia Region.
The project in Addis Ababa aims to weave a safety net for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and youth affected by HIV/AIDS in Kolfe-Keranyo and Nefas Silk-Lafto Sub-cities in Addis Ababa.
Activities in Shashemene and Siraro focus on issues related to child protection and gender based violence (GBV), and build the capacity of relevant government actors/partners, children, women and community leaders to address causes of child abuse and gender based violence.
