Yeamlak Lijoch Foundation (YLF) - Aras Bet: Empowering Vulnerable Mothers and Children

Driven by Love & Committed to Empowerment and Safety

The Yeamlak Lijoch Foundation (YLF), based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, focuses on supporting economically challenged families, street children, orphans, and homeless mothers. Through our comprehensive approach, we aim to break the cycle of poverty and empower families, particularly women and children.

One of our key programs is Aras Bet (Post Delivery), which provides critical support to vulnerable mothers and newborns. Here’s how we help:

1. Mama’s Care Bags
We provide essential care packages to new mothers, including clothes and sanitary supplies. These packages, costing 2,500 Birr each, ensure that mothers have the dignity and support they need during childbirth. We’ve distributed 96 care bags to date.

2. Post Delivery Home (Aras Bet)
Our Aras Bet service offers safe shelter, food, and clothing to homeless mothers and their newborns for six months after delivery. In the past 28 months, we’ve supported 57 mothers and 59 newborns.

3. Training and Counselling
We provide training and counselling to help mothers rebuild their lives, gain skills for self-sufficiency, and prepare for a brighter future.

4. Livelihood Improvement Program
We offer financial support, job placements, and family reunification to help mothers become financially independent and improve their long-term stability.
