Partners in the Horn of Africa

Home » Projects » Current Projects

Partners in the Horn of Africa projects for 2007 include:

A sericulture project where rural women generate income by raising silkworms in their homes and selling the raw silk to local weavers.
A hospice (one of the first in Ethiopia) for AIDS victims who are homeless.
Ten construction projects building classrooms, libraries and latrines for rural schools.
A Dialogue Centre in Addis Ababa where the AIDS/HIV issue can be openly discussed by the community, and where grief counseling and play therapy are available to those directly affected by the virus.

Ethiopia is a diverse and world-class stage for natural beauty and wildlife viewing, although the tourism industry is poorly developed. There are over 845 species of birds and 260 species of mammals, of which 50 are indigenous only to Ethiopia. Important areas of interest are Blue Nile Falls, Tana Lake (largest in Ethiopia), Simiem Mountains (3rd highest in Africa), Rift Valley lakes and the Sof Omar Caves in the south province.
