Dear all,

We are reaching out to you today with an urgent request for clothing donations for the children at Zewditu Meshesha orphanage. Due to recent outbreaks of scabies, many of the children have to discard their clothing for treatment and are now in need of new garments.

Scabies is a contagious skin condition caused by mites that burrow into the skin, causing intense itching and discomfort. Unfortunately, it is common in crowded living conditions such as those found in orphanages, and can quickly spread among the children.

We are asking for your help in providing clothing items for these children. 👚 👖 👟

Your generous donations will help ensure that these children can have clean and comfortable clothing to wear as they recover from this unpleasant condition.

Donations can be dropped off at the following locations starting from today.
