TLC Partners with Local Bank

Over $21,000 was given through our annual Christmas GivingCampaign. This year, not only did every child receive money topurchase new shoes and clothing but TLC staff partnered witha local bank to open savings accounts for each family. 

Seed money was placed in these accounts, and the guardianswere so excited to have a means to begin saving. TheEthiopian government has commended TLC for our efforts tonot only offer relief for acute needs but to work towardsbreaking the cycle of poverty through financial education andempowerment.
