Pre- assessment we made
The Dire Dawa Development Association team is visiting the children being cared for by the center. During the visit, it was understood that the number of abandoned children at the childcare center and those being sent to the center is increasing. Until the fundraising program we started with GlobalGiving is reaching its goal we are providing clothing and hygiene supplies to the children.
