SOS Children’s Villages – A true help for children in single-parent families
Women in Ethiopia do not benefit from the same consideration given to men, and this represents a significant problem when mothers find themselves in the need of manage a family by their own. Single-parent families in Adwa are 74%, a figure much higher than the national average. In this Country stricken by poverty, despite working very hard, single mothers are able to earn only the minimum to survive and are therefore forced to neglect their children. Many children are obliged to help in housework or with occasional jobs. By doing so, they miss classes or they leave school. Children of these women do not have any chance to free themselves from the circle of poverty. More informations on https://www.sos-childrensvillages.org
