The Kindu Trust is a small charity registered in the UK and Ethiopia that works directly with around 350 families in Ethiopia. We predominantly work in the North West area of Ethiopia including Gondar, Debark, Lalibela and Tikil Dingay and we also support some families in Addis Ababa. We have been working within these communities for over 15 years, having started by helping children living on the streets. We now work through our Child Sponsorship Programme and Community Programmes to support disadvantaged families in Ethiopia who face the daily struggle of providing sufficient water, food, clothes and shelter for their children.
Our Objectives
At The Kindu Trust, our mission is simple – to create an environment in which children can be healthy, go to school and work towards a brighter future. To help achieve this, The Kindu Trust is working diligently to:
- Fulfil the basic needs of children and their families through monthly financial support and material donations;
- Enable access to education and healthcare through the provision of school supplies, supplementary classes and vocational training, and medical support;
- Support the families to become financially independent through Community Income Generating projects and activities;
- Improve the general well being and quality of life for children and their families by providing safe spaces to play, organised activities and by providing home improvements and community sanitation facilities.
