Projects to be accomplished in target areas
Kolfe keraniyo sub city;- according to a bulletin kolfe keraniyo volume 2, no 2 published by communication affairs office of the sub city in march 2002; kolfe keraniyo is one of the ten sub-cities in the restructuring made in 1995, bordering addis ketema and gulele sub-cities in the north, lideta sub-city in the east, nifas silk lafto sub-city in the south and oromiya regional state in the west. Its area is 5471.13 hectares with a population of 456,230 among which 48.4% are male and 51.6% are female. During its establishment (1995) there were 13 schools at different levels in which only 22,348 students were enrolled. As per the effort made to expand the service, meaningful change in the education sector has been observed starting 1996. Accordingly, eleven new standardized schools were constructed and expansion was made in the 8 formerly built schools. As stated in the bulletin entitled yeakababi limat serawoch be kolfe keraniyo special issue published by communication affairs main office in February 2002 the education provided by limited 13 government schools has now grown to 18 primary and 5 high schools in which 47,959 students got the opportunity to learn full day without shift. Nifas silk lafto sub city; it is one of the 10 sub-cities of Addis Ababa. Although detail statistical data on the socio-economic situation of the population of the sub
city is not available, the 2007 CSA report shows that the sub city has a total population of 316,108 with 148,892 male and 167,216 female i.e. 47.1 % and 52.9% respectively. Life to live is an indigenous Non-governmental organization dedicated to see a self reliant Ethiopian society. The Organization established in 2010 by intellectual who are living in slum area and dumping site known askoshe. In short, as extension of previous activity Life to live would like to implement on children service projects in the sub city. The organization operates in Addis Ababa, kolfe keraneo & lafto Sub-city woreda 1 and woreda 2 (alert area and korea area).The major focus areas of intervention of life to live are prevention of children from koshe ( dumping site) provide their meal in feeding center , preventive health program and support in their education. LTLs mission is to contribute towards bringing a long lasting change and improvement in the life of the disadvantaged members of the community with emphasis on children through integrated development programs with the active participation of the community.
2. Problem analysis
The vast majority of children in Ethiopia are brought up and forced to live under the most difficult circumstances. They are living with malnourishment which is prevalent in the target area. Child labor and school dropout is the effect of malnourishment. The lack of school materials and fees is rampant in Ethiopia. There are enormous factor which is largely related to poverty have contributed for low enrolment ratio in the sub-cities these are:In the sub-cities woreda 1 and woreda 2 (alert area and korea area) since the capacity of most parents to feed and to send their child to school is very difficult rather they permit to go to the dumping area. This can be seen from two points of
view. First, the parents of these children are illiterate and they dont know the value of education. Secondly, even if these parents want to send their child to school they couldnt afford the payment and the meals for their children, since the incidences of poverty are very high in the area due to the decline in the average annual income which is inadequate to meet the basic food and non-food required for the household members. The root cause for the decline in household income is the lack of productive assets (Work tools and equipment), shortage of working capital and raw materials and inputs and also the lack of market of their products. Because of these reason, most of the parents are beggars. The following issues were identified to justify and call for continued interventions: People who come to the dumping area are persons who are too poor and hence have nothing to eat. This forced them to eat what they get from the dumping center not because they like to eat rather forced by their extreme poverty. Consequently, they become victims of several health problems and addicted to several drugs. These children are either from parents who have died or are too poor and unable to meet their demands. For this reason they are obliged to spend most of their time in the dumping site. They are either school aged children and above that but some did not start school and some others have dropped out mainly because of economic problem. These children, by eating all the left outs from that damping site, are exposed to various dangerous diseases. Moreover while they are searching for edible left outs, they are subjected to accidents like car crush by the dumping cars which lead to different disability and death, eating harmful and expired sealed foods and poisonous substances. The youth who based their living on the dumping site are subjected to low moral standards, most of them are illiterate or school dropouts and some are attending school. Those who are under education have nothing to eat and hence forced to
drop out. What should be taken in to consideration is that there are also girls reached to puberty stage and spends most of their time even the nights in the dumping site. Since the youth are highly addicted to several drugs, the community discriminates them. These led to both male and female adolescents to form their own residential area, which might result in unsafe sexual contacts that will increase the prevalence of HIV/AIDS, and some of them are accused of being criminals. The situation in the focus target area for this project, are very exacerbated when we compare with the other sub-cities of Addis Ababa. The children who reside themselves in the dumping area in general and the Sub-city in particular share all the problems addressed in the previous paragraphs.

However, there may be some risk factors that could influence the project and become beyond the immediate control. This includes. There is a risk, that potential donors may not pursue the financial support as required and on time. To minimize this risk, however, great care will be given to the selection of funding agencies and commitment of the board of directors and founding members of the organization. Reluctance by relevant governmental, non governmental institutions and potential donors to collaborate in the implementation of the project. In addition to unforeseen factors, may also affect degree of achievement. to minimize this risk, the board of directors will ensure the full participation of relevant NGOs, governmental bodies and community based organizations in the implementation of project activities. 16. Sustainability and phase out strategy
16.1Sustainability strategy
The very nature of the project being community based indicates that the project runs and owned by the client who are by and large part of the society. The community will be empowered to have a shared vision so that they can be able to actively involve in identifying problems, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the project programs. This is to say that sense of ownership will be developed in the society depending on the built in system of the project, which is assured by the activities out of the project period. In order to win support of decision makers at various levels, the parental and professional involvement in the entire process will be ensured. The over all program will be back up by intensive motivational and awareness raising activities throughout the project period. The research work will have its own contribution in supporting any organizations including the implementer of this project to learn more about the existing strategies and draw lessons for development of better approaches.
15
All these interrelated activities believed to enhance the effectiveness of the project which in turn maximizes the sustainability of the project as it attracts other partners to work in collaboration toward quality and efficient early educational service for children from lower income segments of the society. Similarly sustainability of the project depends on the financial inputs secured from potential donors to pursue its programs and to sustain the financial status of the organization.
