PROGRAMMES
We provide free education for around 400 children aged between 5-16 years. We have been supporting this project since 2002. The school is based in Bursalax, very close to the border between Ethiopia and Somalia in Puntland State , Somalia . These children include orphans, street children and children from poor nomadic families.
Read Horn of Africa also built and now runs a boarding school with 130 students in Bursalax.
We are now in the middle of drilling a second borehole in the area to provide clean water for the school, local community and the nomads.
We are planning to build a new secondary school in the same village to enable students continue their education to secondary school level.
Other campaigns raised money for:
drought relief
community development initiatives
community health facilities
support for ill children
provision of sports facilities for children
The children we support are affected by poverty and sufferings caused by many years of conflict and natural disasters in the Horn of Africa.
