OVC Care and Support
CHADET works with different stakeholders to help disadvantaged children out of poverty by providing care and support systems in their communities.
Education
Many children in Ethiopia don’t have the opportunity to attend school, especially in the rural areas. One of the major barriers to access education is the burden of work. Whether at home or outside, it is customary for families to expect their children to work hard and support of their family. Some children, especially if they lack motivation from home, simply never get started with education. They may miss lessons, and do badly at school, and then miss more lessons out of lack of interest, and so it goes on. They very often end up dropping out of school completely.
