What we aim to solve
Our neighborhoods in central Ethiopia are plagued by acute poverty. This impoverishment presents immense challenges ranging from nutrition-related illness, to illiteracy, to lack of employment opportunities. Lelt foundation provides efficient, ethical aid while preventing dependency-based assistance.

Five powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
How will they know if they are making progress?
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We combined three main programs in nutrition, education, and job creation to provide each of our participating families with sustainable assistance. The 3 programs working in synergy avoid dependence. Our goal is to have each of our families graduate from our assistance programs after several years with stable employment, healthy lifestyles and an advanced education.
Our three main programs --nutrition, education, and job creation-- are in daily rotation at our two Community Centers.
Our nutrition, education and job creation programs have been running successfully for the past 4 years. We require funding to strengthen and grow these programs.
*Nutrition-related illnesses have decreased by 30% from participants in Lelt's programs.
*50% of our children are enrolled in private schools, which boast a 90% college enrollment rate at the time of high school graduation.
*Parents that have enrolled in our Job Creation program have seen 30% higher salaries than before they received assistance.
We are not able to include all of our children in private school, or enroll all of our parents in the job creation program, from lack of funding.
