How we help
01.
— Sustainable Livelihoods
 & Seed Money
Through our various in-country projects, Betseb International Aid is able to help numerous families generate sustainable livelihoods. This on-going income enables parents to provide for their children’s needs including food, shelter and schooling.
02.
— Feeding Hungry Children
With so many little mouths to feed, our cooks are certainly kept busy! We provide 3 balanced meals and snacks to every child every day. We use fresh, in-season produce purchased from local markets to ensure each meal is as nutritious as possible
03.
— Training Health Advocates
Betseb International is planning to roll out our Health Advocate courses so our trainees can take their newfound knowledge back to their local communities to improve sanitation and nutrition.
04.
— Providing Schooling
All school-aged children are taught by professionally-trained teachers on our own property. With small class sizes and a kindergaten as well, we’re able to help our children learn important skills to improve their future prospects.
05.
— Self Help Groups
Betseb’s self help groups are made up of poor familes that join together informally to work together to inrease the level of their household income and that of their local community. Our self help groups are improving the lives of poverty-striken Ethiopians every day!
Health Advocates program
Betseb International plan to help improve general wellbeing across local communities by training and equipping Health Advocates. Each of our trainees will go through comprehensive health awareness courses where they will learn important information such as:
- Proper sanitation practices to protect their communities
- Healthy hygiene skills to prevent the spread of disease
- COVID safety protocols to reduce infection
- Diabetes awareness
- The dangers of drug and alcohol use
- The importance of a balanced diet, especially for children
Our Health Advocates will then be encouraged to share their newfound knowledge and skills within their communities!
education assistance program
With approximately one third of all Ethiopian families living below the poverty line, attending school is out of reach of many children. Children often work to support their family and government funded schools are overcrowded and with poor quality education. Unfortunately, this sees many bright young children go without an education and they miss out on the chance to better their lives through schooling.
Betseb International dream that every child has the chance to go to school to give them the opportunity at a better life. We are working to identify needy families to help their children enrol in school. Our programs will give kids the support they need throughout their education journey with money for uniforms, books and transport.
With the kind support of our donors, we’re able to change the lives of the poorest children and give them hope for a brighter future.
