Visit to Babul Keyer

In a set of our pre-launch events, we're visiting local NGOs we love so dearly. On Friday, September 23rd, 2022, we visited Babul Keyer, a local Not for Profit that mainly focuses on its feeding program. We had the chance to hold a small lunch program for forty of our guests. Our guests are none-other than the registered people, who depend on Babul Keyer for their everyday continued existence with dignity. Although Babul Keyer, mainly depends on donations from the wide local and international community, Babul Keyer, produces beautiful leather products, garments, and selected food items as one of the means to support this noble cause. Babul Keyer feeds more than 1500 families daily, accounting for more than 4000 people, with dignity. Small tiffin boxes are arranged and picked up by family registered family members. Food is prepared for both Muslims and Christians, separately according to each religion's regulations. Fasting food is also prepared for Christians on Fasting days. Those who're unable to come and pick up will have their food delivered to their homes. Those who're 'ashamed' to publicly accept these tiffin boxes for various reasons are allocated monthly groceries. Daily, it costs them 126,000 Birr if the food is cooked with meat, or 75,000 Birr if cooked full vegetable! Their first address and the one we visited is near Saint Paul Medical College, behind Abebe Bikila Stadium Please also follow their Facebook page 'Babul Keyer NGO' for regular posts! When you visit don’t forget to participate in the signature “Make your own injera for only 50 Birr” challenge! We're glad to also inform you that lommi.org by Health and Hope for the Generation Charitable Organization, the first medically specialized crowdsourcing platform, will launch on Thursday, 29, September 2022! Locate! Operate! Transform!

We strive to increase awareness of communities, towards modern, safe and high quality healthcare. As a stepping stone towards our goal, we launched a two month dermatology campaign, via our partner hospital, to reach 650 people in a two month period.
