🥜🥛 Continuing care, nourishing young lives 💛

🍽️💛 Celebrating impact, inspiring continuity

The Guguba Primary School Phase II School Feeding Project in Dire Dawa has been successfully concluded on the 7th of July, 2026, marking a year of meaningful support.

Throughout the academic year, 500 children received nutritious daily breakfasts, contributing to improved attendance, reduced dropout rates, and better academic performance. The initiative was widely recognized as a model school feeding program, demonstrating how consistent nutritional support can strengthen both learning and wellbeing.

As we celebrate these achievements, there is a shared commitment to sustain and expand this life-changing program through stronger partnerships and local resource mobilization ensuring continued support for vulnerable children in the years ahead. 🌿

👕💛 Supporting Dignity Through Compassion 🌿

Clothing and shoes are more than everyday necessities as they provide warmth, protection, and a sense of dignity. This week, Elnet Foundation distributed donated clothes and shoes in Lideta sub-city to 45 vulnerable children and adults who lives on the street, offering practical support and a simple expression of care in the shape of 135 clothing items.

Each item shared carried more than material value it offered encouragement and a reminder that everyone deserves to feel seen and supported.

With the continued support of our partners and community, we remain committed to contributing, in small but meaningful ways, to the wellbeing and dignity of those who need it most. 🌿💛

👗💛 Empowering women, transforming lives

Building on stories from the Dire Dawa Women Economic Empowerment Project, Bedria Mohammed is creating a path toward independence and stability.

Once reliant on her husband’s limited income, Bedria began her journey with training, seed funding, and determination. Starting small, she expanded her clothing business and reached more customers across her community.

Today, she has tripled her income from 1,000 birr to 3,000 birr and is actively supporting her family with confidence. 🌿This journey reflects more than financial growth it is about dignity, resilience, and the power of opportunity.

👩‍🍳💛 Empowering women, transforming lives

Through the Dire Dawa Women Economic Empowerment Project, Shukri Ibrahim a mother of four has turned her determination into a pathway toward stability and hope.

From uncertainty to confidence, Shukri is now building a better future for her children and standing strong in her community. 🌿This journey is not only about income it’s about dignity, resilience, and the power of opportunity to change lives.

🌿💛 Standing with Mothers and Children, Every Day

Today, Elnet Foundation provided milk, flour, and peanut butter to mothers and children at Daleti Prison—simple essentials that help meet daily nutritional needs and bring comfort in challenging conditions.
This support is part of an ongoing nutrition project consistently implemented since last year, ensuring steady care for those who need it most.
For mothers with limited external support, contributions like this can make an important difference in the daily care of their children. We remain committed to standing with vulnerable families through consistent care and compassion, nurturing dignity, health, and hope. 🌱💛

🌱💚 Inspiring young leaders, growing a greener future

Elnet Foundation is proud to receive a contribution of Birr 11,700 from Samuel Shearn and Ayden Boateng, 5th grade students at the International Community School, in support of our tree planting initiatives.

This contribution will support our greening efforts across targeted government schools in Addis Ababa, helping create shaded spaces for students, promote fruit trees planting in schools, and create awareness on the importance of caring for a clean and green environment.

This move reflects how young children can create meaningful impact, contributing to healthier learning environments and a greener city for all. 🌿

🍽️💛 Nourishing learning, fueling futures
At Guguba Primary School in Dire Dawa, 500 students are receiving daily breakfast through the Guguba Student Feeding Program implemented by Elnet Foundation and Dire Dawa Development Association.
This ongoing support is helping children begin their school day with the nutrition they need to learn, grow, and participate more actively in class. It is also contributing to improved attendance, better learning outcomes, and stronger wellbeing among students.
Beyond the children, the program is also creating economic opportunities for local women, showing how school feeding can strengthen both education and community livelihoods. 🌿

👕💛 Sharing Care with Children in Need

Today, Elnet Foundation distributed clothes to children in need around the Abichu area of Gelan Condominium. A total of 15 children received clothes and shoes to support their daily wellbeing and dignity.

While simple in form, this kind of support can make a meaningful difference for children and families facing difficult circumstances. It is a reminder that practical care, given with compassion, can bring comfort, confidence, and hope.

We remain committed to standing with vulnerable children through acts of support that protect dignity and respond to real needs. 🌿
