Partnership brief · One-year program plan
Sewing skills. Support for vulnerable women and families.
New Hope Ethiopia supports vulnerable young women and girls in Koshe, Korah, Woreda 01, Addis Ababa—young women with potential, dreams, and a desire to build better lives, but who often lack the support and opportunities to pursue them. Many are caught in the daily struggle to provide for their children, families, and themselves, leaving little room to dream about their own future. New Hope creates a safe and supportive space where they can pause, heal, learn practical skills, build confidence, and discover new possibilities. Through skills training, psychosocial support, and practical care, we walk alongside them as they move from simply surviving toward building a future with hope and dignity.
Why this work matters
A woman cannot leave food, family responsibilities, and worries at the classroom door. Training is more useful when she has support to take part.
New Hope Ethiopia is the public name of Ye Ethiopia Addis Tesfa Charity Organization. The program plan focuses on Kolfe Keraniyo Sub-city, Woreda 01, Addis Ababa.
Our Christian faith
We share the hope of Jesus alongside practical care. Our earlier work brought Bible stories of hope and forgiveness together with life skills, food and hygiene support, and help for families. Relationships and care are central to our approach.
What the one-year plan includes
• Practical sewing lessons, equipment, fabric, and training materials.
• Emotional support, mentoring, and life-skills sessions.
• Nutrition support and help with children’s needs within the program.
• Working materials and follow-up to help women prepare to use their skills.
Experience behind the plan
Our September 2024–February 2025 report records the selection of 20 single mothers and activities including home visits, life-skills and beadwork training, food and hygiene support, and help with health insurance.
That report describes an earlier program. The figures above describe the reach planned for the one-year sewing program.
Ways to partner
Churches and Christian groups can explore prayer, sharing the work with their congregation, and program support.
Foundations and funding organizations can discuss support for the full plan or agreed activities. Businesses and community groups can explore equipment, materials, relevant skills, or fundraising. Individuals can give, pray, share stories, or introduce New Hope to others.
Discuss current needs and the budget with our team before deciding on a contribution. We can agree the activities, timing, amount, and reporting together.
Following progress and use of funds
The plan includes attendance and training records, records of support delivered, procurement and equipment records, and quarterly activity and financial reporting. These help track participation, learning, and spending.
Partnership reporting can be agreed with the team. Current enrollment, program dates, and the detailed budget are available to discuss as part of that conversation.
