building a future...

one step at a time.

We Have a Big Dream and We Need Your Help!

Blue Nile Children's Organization is run by a small staff and volunteers, both in Seattle and in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Many of our projects can be benefited by additional volunteers or interns. If you are interested in working for BNCO or would like to comment or ask questions please contact us!

Blue Nile Children's Organization(BNCO) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization working with orphaned children in Bahir Dar and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Headquartered in Seattle, WA, BNCO works to raise money in the states to support our Sponsorship Program and Medical Center and Education Program in Ethiopia. BNCO also works with the local community to promote education on preventive methods for infectious diseases. While we work to provide for over 70 orphans currently in our care, it is our desire to also help educate the community in order to prevent more orphans.

 

Many other non-profits work to create change in Addis Ababa Ethiopia and it is our plan to work as partners with these organizations in order to strengthen the communities where our children live. BNCO also works with the Ethiopian Government and Ministry of Health by helping to extend their reach into the communities. In doing this we receive their support, and help supplies reach the poorer part of the population.

 

BNCO is constantly looking for new and innovative ways to help our sponsored children and their communities.

Other ways to get involved:
* Help recruit new sponsors for our Sponsorship Program
