This programme involves supporting orphan girls between the ages of 3 and 18 years old by providing shelter, food, sanitary products, education materials and schooling.

Left with no-one to turn to, these girls would grow up on the streets, vulnerable to all forms of abuse, without education and little motivation or sense of hope. Education is difficult to obtain in Ethiopia for both adults and children alike, but this is particularly the case for young girls.

LUCIA provides occasional support for some of the Little Voice projects.

Little Voice run a programme providing safe shelter for street children in Ethiopia.

They also run a school and provide exciting activities for the children at their summer camps. The children really enjoy themselves and are educated at the same time. It is hoped that the school can be expanded in the near future, to accommodate more children.

The children have usually had a tragic start in life and Little Voice helps them to move the focus from their unfortunate past, into a brighter, safer and more positive future. Add a comment
