Sponsorship Programmes
The Nicolas Robinson School educates some of the most disadvantaged children in the area of Mekele, Tigray, Northern Ethiopia. These children are the sons and daughters of disabled war veterans who are the most financially disadvantaged in society. Of the 1400 children at the school, 450 are currently sponsored and we aim to add more to this number, each year. ​
