Child Labor Prevention

Child Labor Prevention is a program designed to fight child labor exploitation in various forms and support those who are already victims in their journey to become financially self-dependent. This program is conducted in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital city, and Chencha, a rural town in southern Ethiopia.

Under this project HCE works to free children and teenagers from different kinds of child labor exploitation by providing different kinds of short-term vocational trainings. HCE provides these boys and girls with basic needs to help them focus on their trainings throughout the program duration. Vocational areas include weaving, sewing, construction finishing, handmade leather products and hair dressing.
