Support for HVCs
HIV and AIDS have had a significant impact on societies, particularly on children who have lost parents and caregivers. In Amhara, Ethiopia, many vulnerable children are left without proper care. To address this issue, ANPPCAN-Ethiopia partnered with local government offices and structures to implement the Yekokebe Berihan Highly Vulnerable Children and USAID Caring for Vulnerable Children Activity projects from 2011 to 2019. These PEPFAR-funded projects directly supported over 14,000 OVCs and their caregivers through shelter and care services, economic strengthening, legal protection, health and psycho-social support, food and nutrition, education, and coordination of cares and health referral linkages.
ANPPCAN-ETHIOPIA
Migrant and Trafficked Children
ANPPCAN-Ethiopia is part of the Northern Corridor project, with support from OAK Foundation and four other NGOs. The intervention corridor runs from Debra Birhan to Kobo. They also have a similar intervention in North Gondar funded by Terre des Homes to reduce child migration and trafficking. They strengthen child protection structures such as CCCs, school clubs, and involve local duty bearers. Vulnerable children receive counseling, life skills, school material support, and vocational training for self-sufficiency.
Women Empowerment/Development
ANPPCAN-Ethiopia and Action Aid Ethiopia have supported single-headed households in North Shoe Zone, Oromia Region. The women formed saving and credit associations, received training and start-up capital, and formed a Saving and Cooperative Union. Other vulnerable women were also supported to engage in business activities. As a result, their lives and families have improved, with upgraded houses, household utensils, and ability to cover expenses, send their children to school, and meet basic needs. Economic and social empowerment interventions enhanced their leadership and decision-making skills, increasing their participation in community matters.
