I. OUR MISSION:On Thursday, November 19th students in both Middle and High School will wear the jersey of their choice in support of the “1 JERSEY 1 LIFE” campaign. Each student that participates would be asked to simply donate 1 KD. The money raised from “1 JERSEY 1 LIFE” will be used for orphans in Ethiopia that cannot afford to attend school or are at-risk of dropping out of school. Through the “1 JERSEY 1 LIFE” campaign, we aim to raise 400 KD in order to educate 6 orphans for an entire year. The cost to educate one orphan is approximately 70 KD for a year—that’s 6 KD a month!
II. WHY “1 JERSEY 1 LIFE” CAMPAIGN:
“1 JERSEY 1 LIFE” is a meaningful initiative to support the education of orphans in Ethiopia. Formal education in Ethiopia is restricted to families that can afford the cost of uniforms,
school materials, and books. For the 150,000 to 600,000 children living and working onthe streets of Ethiopia, obtaining an education is a faint possibility. Here are some quick facts:• 6 million orphans in Ethiopia
• Over 10 million vulnerable children
• 7.8 million children out of school
• 4 million girls out of school
III. PARTNERSHIP:
The “1 JERSEY 1 LIFE” campaign will be partnering with ALIF, a non-profit organization that provides orphans and vulnerable children with the opportunity to attend school! Specifically, ALIF provides the supplies the following:
• Financial assistance for food, shelter and clothing
• School Uniforms
• School Supplies
• Backpacks
The “1 JERSEY 1 LIFE” campaign is a part of a larger effort by ALIF to educate 56 orphans and vulnerable children in Ethiopia.
