Join Us & Make a Difference
According to UNICEF, Ethiopia counts as one of the largest populations of orphans in the world: 13 percent of children throughout the country are missing one or both parents. This represents an estimated 4.6 million children—800,000 of whom were orphaned by HIV/AIDS.
According to the World Widows Report (2015) by The Loomba Foundation, there were close to 2.5 million widows in Ethiopia.
A study from the Bojjii office of administration reveals that, in the focus area of Bojjii alone, there are 439 elders (above age 60), 884 orphans and 65 children with disabilities without sufficient services and assistance.
To Know More
The Town of Billa
The town of Billaa, situated in the woreda (district) of Bojjii, is located in the rural region of Oromia, Ethiopia. In 1861, this vibrant market place was formed by land owners as a sealing and buying place for their agricultural products. Based on Billaa municipality documentation, the name given to the market place was based on the name of a landowner in the area and the tall grasses that covered the region, widely known as Billaa. In the years to come, like any other woreda town, Billaa’s population transformed based on socio-economic, cultural and political conditions. The population of the city is currently estimated at 21,590. Over 75% of the population are young people, hence offering both challenges and opportunities for growth and development in the region. In the district of Bojjii, there are currently over 400 elders (above the age of 60), 884 orphans and 65 children with disabilities in need of service and assistance.
