ChildFund began its operations in Ethiopia in 1971 and currently supports 13 community-based child development programs in Amhara, Oromia, SNNP regional states, and Addis Ababa city administration. One of the local partners of Child Fund Ethiopia namely Sodo-Buee Child and Family Development Association is currently implementing an intervention focusing on alleviating water supply challenges of the community in Adele Gose Kebele, Sodo Woreda, Gurage Zone of SNNPR.
