These last two quarters have been a period of tremendous growth at Enhance Worldwide: completing incorporation, obtaining 501(c)(3) status as a tax-exempt organization, developing and implementing our first community-based programs in Ethiopia, sp
onsoring a life skills event for 100 school children, providing sanitary pad kits and education, becoming a member organization of Girls Not Brides, and establishing dynamic partnerships with Not Too Late and Days for Girls.
Through direct donor support — including our entire Board of Directors and staff — Enhance Worldwide launched three programs in Ethiopia this January: Kinship Care, Rising Autonomy, and Pathways Project. To date, Enhance Worldwide’s programs and activities have directly benefited over 150 children and young adults, challenging the threats of child marriage, institutional care (orphanage), street violence, heightened risk for HIV, and trafficking for either labor or sex. And Enhance Worldwide’s vital work continues.
This quarter, our Board of Directors committed to long-term and strategic fundraising to support and amplify Enhance Worldwide’s capacity and impact. Enhance Worldwide is well positioned to expand our program offerings, program reach, and the number of constituents served in the Entoto area of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. We continue to live out our vision each day: developing communities where girls and women have the skills to lead meaningful, dignified lives and where each individual has agency, autonomy, and aspirations.
