HOPE FOR CHILDREN ORGANIZATION (HFC), Addis Ababa |
|
| |
2003 – $10,000 |
HFC engages the community to support
families affected by HIV/AIDS. They believe that by showing how HIV/AIDS
affects children through the children’s own eyes, that they will be
able to call attention to children’s needs and rights. This grant enables
HFC to partner with a documentary photographer to teach children how to
express their experiences of orphanhood and HIV/AIDS using photography.
The children’s photos will help raise awareness locally and internationally
of the challenges these children face.

JERUSALEM CHILDREN AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION (JECCDO), Addis
Ababa |
|
| |
2003 – $15,000 |
Since 1985, JeCCDO (formerly known
as Jerusalem Association of Children’s Homes) has provided residential
care for abandoned children. For the past eight years, they have led an
effort to deinstitutionalize their orphanages by reunifying children with
their families and integrating older children into the community. As an
experienced service-providing organization, JeCCDO advises and offers technical
support to community-based organizations that work with children in crisis.
Firelight funds enable JeCCDO to make small grants to five emerging community-based
organizations that provide direct services to vulnerable children.
