Adeeba's Ethiopia trip

Providing shoes and food parcels for kids and families in Ethiopia

£220 raised
9 supporters
Two years ago, I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Ethiopia to volunteer with a children’s charity. Volunteering abroad had always been a dream of mine, and I never thought it would become a reality. The bonds I made—with the children, the amazing on-site volunteers, and the translators who supported me while I taught my very first science class—were life-changing. Before leaving, I promised I would return, despite the many tears I shed each night (some from sadness, some from joy). And now—I’m actually heading back in mid October for 10 days! 💛


This time, I feel stronger. I know what to expect, and I honestly cannot wait to hug the children again!


Together, we’ve already raised a phenomenal amount that will go toward providing food parcels for those most in need. Our next goal is to provide 400 pairs of shoes—one for every child at the school, as so many are without. Each pair costs just £10.


As the trip approaches, we are also collecting:
- Underwear & socks (boys and girls, ages 0–18)
- Sanitary products (preferably pads)
- Pens & notebooks


If you’re able to donate any of these items, the children—and I—would be beyond grateful.


Just to remind everyone: this is a self-funded trip. Every penny donated goes directly to the charity, toward food parcels, shoes, and essential items for the children. Your generosity will make a real difference in a child’s life.


Thank you from the bottom of my heart.~Adeeba (“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others"-Mahatma Gandhi)💛
