Children & Mother’s Support Association
Seattle Chapter
Vision: Ethiopian communities where everyone, especially mothers and children,
have safe water and sanitation, access to good health, a sustainable livelihood, and the opportunity for a meaningful education.
Approaches to Accomplish Our Mission:
1. Develop targeted and sustainable projects, identify key strategic partners, and provide both financial and technological assistance through project completion into consequent maintenance.
2. Emphasize transparency by disclosing all processes, partners and financial information to donors and the public.
3. Commit to cooperative and collaborative work ethics.
4. Involve young Ethiopians and allies in concerted effort to support vulnerable children and mothers, inspiring them to invest their energy engaging with real problems.
5. Partner and collaborate with Wogen Ethiopia and all communities in which we work.
6. Ensure that every project is sustainable, including education and training for long-term maintenance.
Did you know that only 42% of the Ethiopian population has access to improved water, and only 11% has adequate sanitation services?
Animals and humans must share the same meager water resources.
Priority Areas of Intervention:
1. Increase access to safe water, including installing water wells and strengthening streams.
2. Provide training for maintenance of completed water supplying points.
3. Elect water committees to ensure lasting impact and governing structure.
