A 1 €uro sponsorship is a regular, particularly sustainable, and personal form of support for children in Ethiopia (Monopol, Bole, and Adama), where you can experience how the child's life and environment are changing for the better through correspondence with your sponsored child. The sponsorship involves paying a monthly contribution for the child's welfare. The sponsored children continue to live in their familiar surroundings, but receive health and social support in addition to their school education.

1 €uro International is a small Christian association founded in 2007 in Trier/Mertesdorf, Germany, which is supported by the commitment of volunteers.  In cooperation with our Ethiopian partner Noble Action Holistic Development, we support the Berhan School and the sponsorship program in Monopol and the surrounding area as well as in Adama. For us as employees, Jesus Christ is at the center of our lives and actions.

The sponsorship project was founded in 2012 to provide targeted support to children in particular need and to give interested donors the opportunity to get involved in the work by forming personal relationships with a child.

In Ethiopia, in the villages of Monopol and Bole. Both are located in the Nuraera district, about 180 km east of Addis Ababa. And in Adama, a city in central Ethiopia, 90 km from Addis Ababa. (Google Maps)

The 1 €uro sponsorship is more than just financial support. We expect and hope that our sponsors and sponsor families are interested in maintaining contact with their sponsored child.

You can involve your sponsored child in your family by letter or email. It is possible to visit your sponsored child at your own expense. You can also take part in construction projects or leisure activities on site to visit your sponsored child. These visits can be arranged in consultation with our coordinator.

If the economic situation of the sponsored child and their family stabilizes to the point where they can support themselves, we remove the child from the program.

The sponsorship ends when a sponsored child leaves the Monopol, Bole, or Adama project area or completes school after grade 12.
