Praised by Oxfam! Awoke sends the following:
"Local agents (an Ethiopian staff) from Oxfam were searching to do some NGO (Non-governmental Organization) works around Girarghe area. When they met the community chairman to explain about their ideas, he advised them to contact Workineh first to learn and what to do in the area. Then, Oxfam contacted Workineh and visited the villages. He told me that they canít believe by what we are doing and by our ways of doing things and also how we get the trust of the community. They exchanged addresses and they wish our willingness to work together."

Praise from an UNICEF Official:

UNICEF official, Ato Mequanint Ejigu, visited his home village and discovered his sister had a new concrete floor.  "The work you have done has changed not only the day-to-day life, but also the attitudes. People refuse to sit on dust floors. People refuse to drink unhygienic water.  Just because of these small changes, word has spread and people are not content. There are psychological, behavioral and cognitive changes to my community and the word has spread like wildfire to villages more than 100 km away. There is transformation. This is a living, practical, exemplory work."


100% of your dollar goes to benefit schools and villages.
