Dear Donor,
The war in Tigrè, begun on the 4th of November 2020 in the Country, sees facing each other the Tigray People’s Liberation Front against the Federal Government of Ethiopia headed by Prime Minister Abi. Till the beginning of 2020 the Country was considered the most stable of the Horn of Africa.
At the moment the situation in the capital Addis Abeba is calm; however, we must not forget that throughout the war any independent voiced in the conflict have been censored. In fact, internet connection has been limited several times and it is hard to have completely reliable news. Anyway, the population is frightened by the conflict that takes place a few hundred kilometers from the capital. At any moment young men could be called to enlist.
The project “Flower in Bloom” is fortunately going on without a break. 80 children supported that live with their families regularly attend the therapy sessions once a month and the dance, theater and photo-therapy classes. Currently the family house is hosting 34 recipients: 16 girls in the Foster Home and 18 boys. Here the children supported spend their time looked after by the Foster Mother. Thanks to your support, they attend lessons, play and dance. They can find a safe and carefree place in the middle of the conflict!
Thank you!
