Back from Ethiopia

Since yesterday the EDGET-Team is back in Hamburg. We can announce that we had a successful journey. Administration process for donations receipts 2017 has already started. What are the main points we can report:
- Construction costs for standard schools can be reduced by around 30%. We will proof it with our next construction project.
- Our scholarship schemes work wonderful incl. the new programme for shoe shine boys. Effectively managed with heartbreaking stories behind our 120 scholars. 10 - 15 € per scholarship only. We will increase this programme in 2018!
- Our streetchildren programme in the fast growing city Awassa is handled by our partner Center of Concern (COC). EDGET contributes towards a Transitional Home, COC itself organizes the social work for more than 2,400 children. We will further strengthen our partners efforts from 2018 onwards in addition with anti-migration work in rural areas where the support is mostly needed. We have been travelling in the southern region extensively to figure out the right target area.
