work particularly by providing; support;
relief; a safe house for women, providing

1.19|During the reporting period, the trustees
continued fundraising and established a
partnership with
**_‘Ellilta Woman At Risk’_**
a
local organisation in Ethiopia to carry out
the charity’s objectives.
The money sent to Ellilta Woman At Risk
(£3,157) helped to support 15 woman
through their rehabilitation programme.
The rehabilitation programme is designed
to provide comprehensive psychosocial
support, structured into two key phases for
optimal recovery and empowerment.
**Phase 1: Psychological and Emotional**
**Restoration**
In the initial phase, the focus is on
psychological healing and emotional
restoration. Women will engage in a variety
of activities aimed at personal growth and
recovery. This phase takes place over a
five-day week, from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, at
a rehabilitation centre. Activities included
counselling, educational sessions, and in-
house skill-building exercises to foster
mental well-being and resilience.
**Phase 2: Vocational Training and Job**
**Readiness**
Once women had made progress in the| |||first phase, the focus shifts to vocational
training. Based on individual assessments
of each woman's talents and skills, this
phase is tailored to equip them with the
necessary knowledge and abilities to
pursue gainful employment.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming

achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|The money sent to Ellilta Woman At Risk
(£3,157) helped to support 15 woman
through their rehabilitation programme. The
women in the programme ranged in age
from 26 to 32 years, with 72% of them
having one or more child.
Initially, 85% of the women were struggling
with addiction to alcohol, chat (a stimulant),
and cigarettes. After six months of
intensive therapy, this percentage
significantly decreased to 30%. The
reduction in addiction rates not only
improved the lives of the women
themselves but also positively impacted
their children and families.
The first phase of the rehabilitation
program concluded with 10 women moving
to vocational training/ job placement and, 2
women successfully reunited with their
families. 3 women dropped out. Among the
10 women, 2 successfully secured direct
employment with Parker Clay, a leather| company, marking a positive step forward and 8 were enrolled in vocational training as of October 2024. This phase of the program demonstrated both the challenges and success of the rehabilitation journey, highlighting the critical need for continued support to ensure long-term recovery. Moving forward, Ellilta will focus on providing sustained assistance to the women who have successfully transitioned into employment, while also reaching out to those who dropped out or returned to prostitution to offer them further guidance and support. The ultimate goal is to equip all participants with the tools and resources necessary to build a stable and fulfilling future, free from the hardships of their past. ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**||| |---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s
