APA has have active projects in Ethiopia and Tanzania to give a voice to domestic workers by building re-integration programs in the context of origin, schooling together with scholarships and professional training . We have created a network of associations where these women find the strength to support each other, discuss, become aware of their rights, acquire confidence and dignity. The Light Domestic Workers Association in Morogoro started in 2019 with 33 members and now has 450 with recruitment plans for many more. With support from APA and partner agencies most have attended professional skills training and have written contracts and their average salary has increased. With confidence gained, their leaders have been interviewed on radio and TV to promote fair treatment. |
Weekly follow up and monitoring/evaluation meeting with the Street Children,
Debre Markos City, Amhara Region, Ethiopia.

In Ethiopia it is normal to come across street children, even very young ones. They are victims of poverty and AIDS, which has often brought their families to their knees or destroyed them. With the ST.RE.AM. project, which has just started, we want to give concrete help to these children who would otherwise have no future. The overall objective of the ST.RE.AM project is to put in place strategies to implement the Child Rights Policy in addressing the needs and rights of street children/teenagers. The problems to be addressed included: security and safety on the street, lack of police understanding of street children’s/teenager’s needs and children lack of protection, food shortage, sports, access to education and vocational skills training, |
