These gorgeous young women have created new lives for themselves this last year, thanks to Vulnerable Children Society and our partner Hope for Children in Ethiopia. A year and a half ago, they were working in the sex trade, having lost their parents and run out of options. But after a year of vocation training, counselling and support, the girls have set up their own home based braiding business, and are taking care of each other in one of the girls' childhood home. We can't tell you how proud we are of these young ladies! Want to help more vulnerable girls escape a life on the streets?

Congrats to one of our founding directors, Menbere, who just graduated with her Canadian nursing degree! As an Ethiopian-trained nurse and a practitioner in Canada for more than a dozen years, Menbere has been an invaluable member of our board. She's advised us on health issues, held health workshops for moms and girls in our programs, and done health program assessments. We don't know what we'd go without her. #bethechange #ubcgrad @ubc_okanagan #ethiopia #vulnerablechildrensociety Learn more about our good work in Ethiopia: www.vulnerablechildren.ca Vulnerable Children Society Canadian Registered Charity #810826917RR0001

Such shining faces! Each Saturday our 70 kids gather to wash their hair, have a shower and hope into clean clothes at our Love and Hope Family Centre in Kality, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Before attending the centre, some of the kids had never experienced running water before. These hygiene practices make a huge difference to the young kids' health. #kalityloveandhopecentre #bethechange #ethiopia #vulnerablechildrensociety To sponsor one of these deserving kids, please visit www.vulnerablechildren.ca Vulnerable Children Society Canadian Registered Charity #810826917RR0001

Lots of laughs today when Menbere, Tawnya and Arnica gave a women’s health talk to 25 teen girls (former wood carriers.) None of the girls have had a mother around for the last few years to guide them, so the three mamas explained, shared, and even drew hilarious diagrams for the engaged teens. Thanks to #daysforgirls for the reusable sanitary supply care packages- the girls loved them! #childlabour #freeingchildren #bethechange #ethiopia #vulnerablechildrensociety To help more teen girls, visit www.vulnerablechildren.ca

Directors Menbere, Arnica, Tawnya and Flora are in Ethiopia! Kids at the Love and Hope Centre were teaching nurse Menbere the ABC game today,after her women’s health talk with the children’s female guardians. #bethechange #ethiopia #vulnerablechildrensociety To sponsor one of these deserving kids, visit www.vulnerablechildren.ca
