Blue Nile Mission & Goals

The mission of Blue Nile Children's Organization (BNCO) is:

  • -to address the needs of orphaned children in Ethiopia by providing a place of refuge - a place where they can live and become educated, healthy, productive members of their communities.
  • -to holistically involve and include the community as solution partners in prevention of conditions that lead to more orphans, such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other afflictions.

    Goals and Objectives of the Blue Nile Children's Organization

    Currently, BNCO is working on two goals. The first is to provide for the 58 orphans under our care in Bahir Dar, and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and to build our capacity in order to take on more children in the future as arranged with the Ethiopian government. Secondly, BNCO aims to raise awareness in the community where some of the sponsored children live and increase access to prevention methods and treatments of infectious diseases.

      In order to accomplish these short term goals, BNCO is focusing on the following objectives:

    • - Increase our Sponsorship Program by capacity building in state and in Ethiopia, and taking on new sponsors and children.
    • - Increase education on prevention methods of infectious diseases by offering educational seminars to the local population.
    • - Increase access to health care by building a primary care clinic in Addis Ababa, using the land donated by the Ethiopian Government and treating the local community at the clinic on a sliding scale fee.
