Busajo Onlus focuses its activities in Ethiopia, in the Wolayta region, which has about 1.5 million inhabitants. According to the human development report, Ethiopia is one of the poorest countries in the world, it is ranked 157 out of 169 countries and the average age is 54. 

Our projects are developing in Soddo and in the surrounding rural areas. Soddo has about 100.000 inhabitants and and it is located 330 km south of Addis Ababa. The population lives thanks to sheep-farming, agriculture and commerce, but in the last few years the Ethiopian Government has invested in new infrastructures: roads, government offices and schools have been built in almost the whole rural area. The growth of the city attracts many young people from the countryside, increasing school attendance, but also begging phenomena, street children, delinquency and child prostitution. Our actions are aimed mainly at supporting street children and adolescents, in the belief that education and professional training are the only way to get out of a state of indigence and extreme poverty. We work so that, through a path of recovery initially health, then physical, psychological, then emotional and attitudinal, the new generations can grow and become self-sufficient and productive people for the whole country.

Our interventions are aimed precisely to street children and adolescents supporting, because we believe that education and professional training are the only way to get out of a state of indigence and extreme poverty. 

We work to ensure that, through an initial health physical, psychological, emotional and aptitude recovery path, new generations can grow and become self-sufficient and productive people throughout the country.
