How Project Ethiopia Works:

  • Our greatest resource is community support
  • We give money to NO ONE - we buy all materials & implement projects
  • We buy local, and hire local to support local economy
  • We are volunteers!
  • We hire at Ethiopian wages or villagers volunteer their labor so they all benefit
 
 
Judy illustrated the children's book: "Child of Clay" and will donate her proceeds from sales of the book to Project Ethiopia.
 
Child of Clay tells the story of a childless woman in Lamu, Kenya, who dreams of one day having a child of her own, even if she has to make it herself from the clay she creates with each day.
To order your copy of Child of Clay for $15
