The Awassa Children’s Project (ACP) is a grassroots Illinois
non-profit organization formed in 2001. ACP supports several organizations
in Awassa, Ethiopia: a children’s center that provides housing, food and
education for over 60 children orphaned by AIDS; One Love Theater (OLT), an AIDS
education theatre company; and, the Awassa Youth Campus, a community center in
downtown Awassa which features–free to all Awassa children–aikido, sports,
tutoring, art, music and a library, among other activities. These organizations
continue to grow and dramatically improve the lives of Awassa children and the
community in which they live. Especially in these times of dramatically
increasing food costs in Ethiopia, your support is critical to our continued
success.
