121Ethiopia.org has entered into a close partnership with project co-ordinator Gert Jensen, who is in charge of the current renovation of the Kechene Orphanage.
In May 2007, 121Ethiopia completed:
The renovation of the fence all around Kechene. The orphanage covers a fairly large area, and the fence around it was in a terrible state, and in some areas, completely missing. The fence is hugely important to protect the children from intruders.
The renovation of the building that houses the children between 10-14 years old. Now the house has renovated toilets and bathing facilities, new beds, personal closets for each child, and electricity.
The renovation of the small playground, which had been left unused for many years. At the same time, 121Ethiopia purchased activity toys for all ages, together with 3 computers for the classroom and 31 schoolbags for all the children aged 0-10 years old.
