Respond together

Needs don't wait

One need can open
a path to opportunity.

Children are whole people. A school fee, a warm meal, a hospital visit, or a safe ride can be one important step in a longer journey. Contributions do not promise a specific outcome — they help make responsive support possible.

Child

A Home of Hopoe: Yetnebersh's Story

Need
Yetnebersh Gurmu is a mother of three children living with autism. With limited resources and difficult living conditions, she quietly struggled to provide their care, safety, education, and basic needs. After visiting her home, the Panim team realized this family needed more than temporary help.
Support provided
With her permission, we shared the family's story on social media. It went viral, and many people came forward to help. The Mayor of Bishoftu then provided land for a house, and Panim worked to build it, supporting the family's daily life and stability.
Current situation
Panim continues to support the family according to their needs and connects the children and their mother with appropriate assistance. Today, Yetnebersh and her children have a home and know they are not alone. Many other children with Autism and Down Syndrome, and mothers in need, still require our help. Together, we can turn houses into homes filled with hope.

Who does she support?

Panim Women and Children Charity Organization is dedicated to supporting vulnerable women and children, with a special focus on children with Autism and Down Syndrome. We provide educational, medical, and social support, empower women through livelihood opportunities, and promote dignity and inclusion for marginalized communities in Ethiopia.

How does she identify children who need help?

We identify children in need through community referrals, family assessments, school and health-sector referrals, home visits, and professional consultations. Each child's situation is assessed individually so that support can be directed to children facing the greatest barriers to education, healthcare, development, and inclusion.

Where does the support go?

Every contribution to Panim is directed toward programs that respond to the real needs of vulnerable children and women. Through our five core programs, we provide support for healthcare, education, disability inclusion, women's economic empowerment, and menstrual dignity while maintaining appropriate records and monitoring to ensure resources reach the people they are intended to serve.

If a particular need has already been fully funded or circumstances change, Panim may discuss an alternative use with the donor.

Can I donate supplies instead of money?

Yes, We welcome in-kind donations that directly support the children and women we serve. Depending on our current needs, this may include: Diapers and hygiene supplies Sanitary pads and menstrual hygiene materials 3.Educational and learning materials Appropriate clothing and essential items Certain medical and healthcare supplies Educational and developmental materials for children with Autism and Down Syndrome School and classroom supplies Before donating supplies, we encourage donors to contact Panim first so we can confirm current needs, quantities, quality requirements, and delivery arrangements.

Our responsibility

Why transparency
and safeguarding matter.

Children’s dignity comes before storytelling. This initiative aims to protect privacy, use photographs responsibly, obtain appropriate permission, avoid sensitive personal information, and never exploit a child’s story to secure a donation.
