Here are the Facts:

-Circus In Ethiopia is facing  a serious financial crisis and learning to swim in the deep end. 

-Circus In Ethiopia has been supported by humanitarian organisations since 1991. Dutch Oxfam(Novib), Oxfam UK, Unicef, the Red Cross Movement, Cirque du Soleil, Swedish Save the Children, and private individuals have up to now generously contributed to the development of the Association.

- There are now 12 circuses in 12 regions nationwide, over one thousand youths, over 50 trainers and administrators, one Association. A Movement has been created.

- Performances are held on a regular basis in each city year long entertaining and educating the population about life saving health information and Red Cross Principles.

- The Association is  a volunteer movement intent on making a concrete contribution to the community nationwide through its popular  performances and its day to day work with the community youth.

- Local fund raising has proven to be insufficient given the economic and social  situation of the country.

- The role of International Donors is to  provide seed funding and relief. They support institutional capacity. They have succeeded in giving us a good start.

- International Tours have been developped on private investment and after 4 succesful years  are starting to provide some income.

- Local income generating projects are providing jobs for the youth in many cities.

- There is much promise in the future. We are coming closer to establishing the permanent institution the Association needs to be.

- The Circus In Ethiopia Association is the product of individuals with dreams stronger than their apathy and their fear of the future. 

- If you have appreciated and experienced the incredible will and hope these kids from Ethiopia express, if you feel inspired by this willingness of overcoming  the odds, be an individual and make a difference!
