Empowering Education:
Although primary school is free in Ethiopia, hidden costs such as food, exercise books, supplies, uniforms and, shoes are forcing some low-income families to take children out of school at an early age. This is why IMPACT ROASTERS, together with locals, work to secure children school uniforms and materials, which is a huge burden for poor family budgets.
Improving Lives:
About 50% of school kids in rural Ethiopia do not have access to clean, fresh water. When coming to school, they have to carry water from far away in heavy plastic jerry cans. In 2015 we constructed a station for a local elementary school. This water tap station is built in front of the school and provides clean water to 1000 school kids, having a significant impact on kids’ everyday life.
Empowering Youth:
To increase the local youth involved in the job market, we set up bricks and blocks production facilities in South Ethiopia. Since 2017, we trained more than 20 young boys and girls on the block production. In combination with our future projects, the blocks produced by the trainees will be used to build future facilities such as schools, libraries, and sanitation in the needed areas. Now, these boys and girls are running this project. They produce the blocks and sell them to the locals as well as to people from other areas.
STICHING HOPE:
The unemployment rate in Ethiopia, particularly in rural areas, is significantly high. To change that, we work with different job creation projects that aim to improve the economic development of the local communities. In 2016, with the help of the local community, we built a sewing center where 20 boys and girls have been trained. The use of sewing machines in rural Ethiopia has an immense advantage. Local people can sew clothes for their families, thereby reducing their expenses or earning some extra money on the side. So far, there have been more than 150 school uniforms made by our trainees at the center. Some of the trainees have also started their own sewing job after taking the training.
BUILDING FUTURES
Since 2016, we have been actively supporting boy’s and girl’s football clubs in Southern Ethiopia. We believe that sports activities help to develop skills that create a healthy mind and body. Hence, by giving youth access to sports activities, we empower them and help build their self-confidence.
