Support and things we need

Taking cash from donations to Ethiopia enables us to support children in Day Care, purchase sewing machines and when required supply medical needs.  Next year we hope to continue with the housing project and purchase houses. Clothes also remain a need as each year we try to take as many items of clothes as possible to help the very poor.  Donated clothes that we are unable to take or are unsuitable we take to Clothes for Cash outlets this has been a real boost to the funds.
