501(c)3 nonprofit organization providing vulnerable children in Ethiopia access to a quality education

We connect children and teachers to an education support system.

1. We provide English classes to lower primary grade level students and their teachers to promote English proficiency, success in school and the community.
2. We provide uniforms and school supplies to socioeconomically disadvantaged children.
3. We provide continuing education opportunities for pre-primary and primary grade school teachers.
4. We promote education enrichment in English and Math through multi-day enrichment camps.
5. We conduct monthly pop-up library events where we take the books to the children. This includes story time, a craft activity, and an opportunity for children to read a variety of interesting books in English, Amharic and Afaan Oromo languages.

100 New Uniforms! 🎉

The school uniforms have finally arrived, and the children are already proudly wearing their new custom-fit uniforms! Their smiles say it all. ❤️

Seeing their excitement is a beautiful reminder that a school uniform is about more than clothing. It can help a child feel prepared, included, confident, and ready for a successful school year.

These uniforms were made especially for the children, and your support helped make this moment possible. Because of you, 100 students can begin the new school year with a uniform made just for them—and a little extra joy and confidence.

Thank you for standing with All Children Count and for being part of these moments. We are so grateful to have you alongside us in this work. 🇪🇹💙

100 uniforms. 100 smiles. One community working together to help children thrive.

We see you. We appreciate you. And your work matters. ❤️

This World Teachers’ Day, we wanted to do something special for the teachers who give so much to their students.

So we celebrated 175 teachers and staff at three of our All Children Count partner schools! 🎉

We brought a few small gifts to say THANK YOU:

☕ Coffee and tea for the schools
👕 “Great Teachers. Better Futures.” T-shirts
📱 Mobile cards so teachers can stay connected with family and friends
🍪 Lots of cookies to enjoy and share!

And we had SO much fun! 😂❤️

It was such a joy to see the teachers relaxed, laughing, enjoying one another, and just having a good time.

They were so happy that someone had thought about them—that someone saw them and appreciated the work they do.

Thank you for your dedication.
Thank you for your patience.
Thank you for believing in your students.

These small gifts are simply our way of saying:

“We see you. We appreciate you. And your work matters.”

A special thank you to our Patreon family, who helped us choose the slogan for the T-shirts: Great Teachers. Better Futures. ❤️

And a BIG thank you to all of our All Children Count supporters. Because of you, we were able to celebrate these 175 teachers and staff and let them know how much they are valued.

Happy World Teachers’ Day! 🍎📚❤️

Happy International Coffee Day from All Children Count! ☕️🇪🇹✨
Did you know that coffee originated right here in Ethiopia? For us, coffee is more than just a morning routine—it’s a symbol of community, warmth, and bringing people together around the jebena.
That same warmth and togetherness drive our mission every single day. We believe that when a community comes together, every child gets the chance to learn, grow, and thrive.
Celebrate International Coffee Day with us today! Drop a ☕️ in the comments if you’ve had your coffee today, and share this post to help us spread the word.
Remember: Your count matters, and so does every child’s! ❤️

💛 Sometimes Helping a Child Goes Beyond the Classroom

This is our sweet Yoseph Bayew. ❤️ Many of you have followed his journey and know just how special he is to our ACC family.

Yoseph was born with spina bifida and faces several other health challenges. Recently, he needed surgery, and his family was facing significant medical expenses.

Thanks to the generosity of our ACC family, we were able to help cover a significant portion of the cost of his surgery.

And now we have some wonderful news…

🥰 Yoseph is healing remarkably well! 🙏🏽❤️

Moments like this remind us why All Children Count is about more than what happens inside a classroom.

Yes, we provide school supplies.
Yes, we support teachers.
Yes, we provide educational resources and opportunities.

But sometimes a child needs something else.

Sometimes a family needs someone to come alongside them during an unexpected crisis.

Sometimes helping a child means making sure they can get the medical care they desperately need.

And sometimes it simply means reminding a child and their family:

“We see you.
You matter.
You are not alone.”

This is the kind of community we want ACC to be.

A community that invests in children’s education and cares about their lives beyond the classroom.

Thank you to every person who gives, shares, prays, encourages, volunteers, or simply tells someone else about ACC.

Because of you, when a child needs help, we can sometimes say, “We’re here.” 💛

64 happy kids + water games + a good story + a hot lunch = a pretty great Saturday! ❤️

This past Saturday, we had a Children’s Day program for our All Children Count beneficiary children, led by the Baptist Mission of Ethiopia (BME) team from Addis Ababa.

The team shared the story of Jonah and the big fish, organized some really creative games, and gave the children plenty of time to play and have fun.

And let me tell you… the water games were a BIG hit! 💦😂

The children also enjoyed a nice hot lunch provided by the BME team.

But the best part? At the end of the day, the children gave us endless hugs. 🥰

If you want to know whether the children enjoyed themselves, I think the hugs answered that question!

We are so thankful to the BME team for spending their Saturday making these 64 children feel special, and for everyone who helps make moments like this possible through All Children Count.

What a joyful day! 💛

🌼🇪🇹 Happy Ethiopian New Year! | መልካም አዲስ ዓመት! | Baga Bara Haaraa Geessan! 🇪🇹🌼

Today we celebrate the beginning of 2019! 🎉

Ethiopian New Year is a time of fresh beginnings, hope, family, and looking forward to what the new year will bring.

One of the beautiful symbols of the season is the Adey Abeba, the bright yellow flower that blooms around this time of year. 🌼 Its arrival is a reminder of renewal and the promise of a new beginning.

As we begin another year, All Children Count is grateful for everyone who continues to believe in the power of education and in the potential of Ethiopia’s children.

May 2019 bring hope, growth, opportunity, and brighter futures for every child. ❤️

From all of us at ACC, Happy Ethiopian New Year! 🎊🇪🇹

መልካም አዲስ ዓመት!

🎒 They’re ready!

Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve been busy getting our All Children Count kids ready for the new school year—and we have SO much to celebrate!

Thanks to the success of our Fill the Seat campaign, we were able to provide:

🎒 Backpacks & school supplies for 100 children
👟 New shoes for 100 children (and let me tell you… the shoes were a BIG hit this year! 😂)
📚 School fees for 75 children
❤️ 14 new children added to our program

And because the need is always greater than what we initially plan for, we purchased extra notebooks and were able to share supplies with 10 additional children!

We also wanted to celebrate our students who worked hard academically. 🏆

Our honor roll students—those who earned all A’s and B’s—received a fidget spinner AND a book of their own.

And our students who earned all A’s received an additional 100 ETB ($0.67) as a reward for their hard work. That small amount is enough to purchase a hot lunch for two children. ❤️

This is what your support looks like in action.

A child walking into the new school year with a backpack on their back, new shoes on their feet, supplies in their hands, and the knowledge that people believe in them.

Thank you. Truly.

To everyone who donated, shared our campaign, encouraged us, prayed for this work, or simply told someone else about All Children Count—you helped make this possible.

Our children are starting the school year prepared. And we couldn’t be more excited for them! 📚❤️

💙 Meet Child #100: Lenjiso Fanos!

We have a very special introduction to make today…

Meet Lenjiso Fanos—Child #100! 🎉💙

We first met Lenjiso last school year at one of our partner schools during a reading celebration. We only met him briefly, but this summer, we happened to see him outside a restaurant asking for leftover food.

We were concerned and immediately reached out to his school to learn more.

What we learned was that Lenjiso and his family are going through a very difficult season and could use some help.

So this year, we added Lenjiso to the All Children Count beneficiary list as our 100th child. ❤️

We took Lenjiso to the tailor to get measured for his new school uniform.

Just look at those smiles! 🥹

But we didn’t want to stop there.

Thanks to the support of our ACC community, we will also be providing Lenjiso and his family with a three-month food supply to help take some of the immediate pressure off while they work to get back on their feet.

This is what your support makes possible.

A uniform.

School supplies.

Food for a family.

And, perhaps most importantly, the reminder to a child that someone sees him, cares about him, and believes he deserves an opportunity.

We are so grateful to everyone who helps make this work possible. 💙

And now that we’ve reached Child #100, we’re looking toward the children who are still waiting.

How can you help?

💙 Sponsor a child
💙 Make a donation
💙 Join our Patreon community
💙 Volunteer with ACC
💙 Share our work with someone who might want to get involved

Because All Children Count. And we’re committed to making sure they know it.
