Mothers of Vulnerable Children Livelihood Program

Location

Ethiopia

CHAD-ET assists mothers of vulnerable children in saving and credit-cooperatives as a way of increasing their income earning capacity to be able to support their children’s education after the phasing-out of the project. It also conducts training in basic business skills to let them acquire techniques on how to plan their business, analyze costs and select the type of business they prefer to engage in. There are five such cooperatives who have obtained certificate of registration with the government.

Reason:
This important program works to ensure that mothers have the means to stay safe and healthy and that they can provide for the health and wellbeing of their families as well. This would make a good entry for the Changemaker's maternal health competition.
