In order to really be able to improve the living conditions of the disadvantaged children and the women, ISEFAD imperatively seeks the respect of the differences and non-discrimination, the detailed approach of the situations and the attention with the environment of the child or the woman in extreme suffering. We think that to collaborate with the parents, friends and knowledge of the underprivileged people that we meet on the street, is the best way to obtain progress for these very unhappy children and these women who we meet. This is why, organized in rescue squads for children and women, we go towards the two types of victims of the population which interest us here; without forgetting to reassure them that our doors (very close to them) are open 24h/7.
In the long term our objective is, that the population does not treat the children and the women anymore like useless people or neglect them.
The majority of the inhabitants of the low-district does not have access to education and are illiterate. The organization, ISEFAD works without waiting, to open a small school. The other major concern in the community is health, tetanus, malaria and other diseases kill many children. Attentive with the families, ISEFAD starts to sensitize the children and women with the rules of elementary hygiene.

established in 2008 by development oriented individuals, who are dedicated
to work for and with the disabled people in Ethiopia. The association is
a non-political, non-religious, non-racial and non-profit making organization,
whose resource is targeted at the most vulnerable society and devoted to
bring long lasting sustainable development for people with disability.
In Ethiopia approximately 1 million people are disabled. 32% have leg or arm
impairments and 19% suffer from deafness/speech impairment. Mental disability
is frequent in the country. Traditionally there is a great stigma attached
with disability.
The base line survey of disabled people in Ethiopia (1995) shows that 66.1%
were illiterate, 17.5% had primary Education and 16.4% had secondary Education.
The major problem for people with disability in the country is, there is a
major gap between the need for mobility devices and the access to such devices
in
general, and for children in particular. Lack of access to assistive devices
hinders PWD from starting professional careers, earning their living and
contributing to society.
Considering many problems for disabled people in Ethiopia, FHODA aims to empower
people with disabilities, socially and economically, through the provision
of mobility aids. This will be done by building workshops
to maintain and produce mobility devices locally.

We created this association to help the youngers and disfortuned
women. These days many women are alone with their children and
without income, because the men are sleeping with them for pleasure,
but ignore them afterwards in life. We want to enable them to do
a job or start a trade, for which they need to borrow money and
pay it back later, so that they can support their children and
give them an adequate education. Otherwise these children are growing
up uncared in an environment which leaves no option but crime,
which put already many youngsters at the age of 25 in prison. Besides
this financial support which we want to give in the future, there
are already weekly meetings of the affected woman, where they collect
inforation, discuss and learn about options to change their situation.
Presently there are 250 Woman waiting for support, but we want to extend
our program throughout all West Adrica, We hope to get some funding from
abroad, so that we can change the future, which is our forgotten children.
