Background of the Orphanage center
Dear Sir Madam

The idea of founding Tsige Taddess Orphanage Center has come into reality with the child loving inherent mature of the founder, Tsige Taddess.
18 years back, the founder has brought to light her child helping activity by supporting two children one boy and one girl ,Two years later ,i.e. 16 years ago, the founder has determined to expand her welfare effort to lift up to the present level.
It is Non –Governmental, Non- Political, and Non-Profitable Non religion welfare organization.
The orphanage center officially registered with the Ministry of Justice and Disaster Prevention and preparedness Commission in 2004, our registration CERTIFICATE number is 1518.The center of the organization is located 30 Km on the road to Desi, at place called Legedady Dam , the last stop of 44 bus.
The founder is a kind of person who is easily affected but human hardship in general and that of children in particular .She has never thought of that she would ever be a Mother of her present ‘’big family’’ of 106 children whose age fall in age category of 3 month to 18 years .48 boy’s and 58girl’s, and out of them 2 girl’s are handicap.

At the beginning as the number of the children was small, she started to full her project by the money at her disposal, but soon, her project used up all her cash and demanded for more. She sold her jewelry’s, land many other valuable assets to keep alive her project, which was found in 1990.She has also used and still using her low scale dairy farming thought its contribution is continuation becoming negligible. Although, the founder of this organization proud of many children who have pass through her project and have now become sufficient and productive citizens and that saved many children from the darkness (possibility from death).she is dreadful of imminent danger coming fast to her organization for lack of fund to keep it function unless she get an immediate and sustain financial and material to support the kids if this not happen the orphans will be in problem.
Composition of the Children
As it has been mentioned above, the child currently receiving help are 106 from the founder, she don’t have any support. The orphanage center includes the following classes.
HIV/AIDS Orphans
Deserted children (deserted by their Parma mainly due to Economic reasons)
Thrown away babies (following unwanted pregnancies, economic problem)etc.
VISION
The organization is strongly commented to see all the children under custody to become self suffice and productive citizen of Tomorrow.
Mission
To bring up all the children the best possible way, care for their health, cloth lodging, education, healthy social interaction ethical conduct, etc.

Objectives of the organization
To create, as much as possible, a comfortable like environment (HOME), which is for the children to feed them and make them mentally and physically competent citizens.
To educate them well so that they become self sufficient, productive, nation building citizens who can lead a healthy social life.

The main problem in the center is:-

Food Problem

However hard we are working, we have lost our stamina of feeding this ‘’huge family’ unless we receive urgent aid from Ethiopian people and Ethiopian Government and any charitable individuals and humanitarian organizations it is imminent that our children will continue to be malnourished, starve, and eventually our child population will disperse, sending them back to a kind of life which is worse that the one we have brought them from, lack of finance coupled with skyrocketing inflation is accelerating our problem in this respect. There for, we are badly in need of immediate help from all concerned parties and child lover people and the Government.
Lack of potable water and fuel shortage
we have no potable water and fuel for our children .At present we are providing them with unsafe water from unprotected source {river} which is delivered on donkey’s back and sold for a relatively higher price. And we are not in a sound financial position, to provide them with enough of that kind of water mentioned above. Similarly we are in a serious shortage of water; therefore, we are badly in need of urgent help. The fuel we use the cow dung and the orphans collect leafs and wood from the forest we don’t any other way to use fuel.
Housing
The children where they live is in small place on land belonging to the founder of the organization .The available living space is very small for the huge number of children it is accommodating .Thus, the children are living in a crowded and uncomfortable place Our hundred six orphan’s children are accommodated for shelter in a 12 meter by 5 meter house .Built from local materials {wood and mud} and corrugated iron roof and divided it to three for boys, girls, and infants , thanks to Oromia Regional Administration we have been granted a land of 6612m Square area. But unfortunately, we couldn’t start any constriction on the land because we don’t have money for it to build. There for we are in need of help to start built building which can be house for our children, the property will be belongs to the orphans.
Health Service
Currently, we have no health service facility, which can help to treat our children in case they fall sick. Therefore in connection with this, we need to build one health post and junior heath professional .Here also we need the immediate help of all concerned bodies to successfully accomplish our mission.
Clothing, shoes, mattress, pillows, blanket, and bed sheets
We do not have enough of the above mentioned basic needs of our children .We are looking for some one who can immediately help us in providing these materials, we cant afford them .
School
Those who reached school age go to the government school and they are doing fairly good in their education next to the afore-mentioned basic necessities need to give the proper education to our children .We are planning to construct a school on the place we received from Oromia administrator without help we can’t materialize this vital need.
Word of the founder
To Ethiopian People, Ethiopian Government and any humanitarian, charitable, individuals and organizations after God /Allah you are the only one where we can ask for help please understand the problem I face and help me let my brain and heart rest in the rest of my life.
I have try to help those kids for 18 years with out any help but now I don’t have any income who are considerate and thoughtful to those children please we need your help. Save the kids.
I am asking this help behalf of the children to all Ethiopian People, Ethiopian Government and any humanitarian, charitable, individuals and organizations to extend their hands and forward their help before the life of those children is endangered and I am hopefully confident that I will receive positive answer and all the necessary support, I would like to thanks you for your time by the name of the kids.
