OVERVIEW
SHAPEthiopia is an Ethiopian based non-profit, non-governmental, humanitarian and development organization that strives for a sustainable end to hunger, poverty, illiteracy, and disease infestation in Ethiopia.
SHAPEthiopia’s purpose is to educate and support children and youth people, empower impoverished women and their communities to break the cycle of poverty, hunger, illiteracy and disease infestation and lead them to healthy, happy, productive, and dignified lives.

CHILD AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Child and Youth Development issues are SHAPEthiopia’s main reason for its existence today. Children are the center of our every development activity and plan. In order to provide quality services and interventions that support children from cradle to career, SHAPEthiopia has designed its Child and Youth Development Program.
