Care for Children and Elders Life Association (CCELA) is a non-political, not-for-profit privately run humanitarian organisation, working to address the root causes associated with orphans and vulnerable children, and the destitute elderly in Ethiopia.  They depend solely on the generosity of sponsors and donors to continue our work.

The orphanage provides a loving, secure home for orphaned, abandoned and neglected children, with a focus on education as a foundation for children's long-term success and independence.  CCELA proudly provides economic support for school-aged children in their care to attend a private school. This private education funding provides significant advantages over the government education system and provides a wonderful stepping stone and opportunity to lead a fulfilling and rewarding life.

In addition to institutional care for orphans, CCELA provides comprehensive services including a community based sponsorship programme, skill training for Nannies working in both governmental and non-governmental orphanages, and economical and psychosocial support for the destitute elderly.

CCELA facilitates lasting change by strengthening capacity for self-help and providing economic opportunities. Since establishment, CCELA has assisted over 100 needy children and elders.

The Ted Senior Foundation is a registered UK charity championing good mental health and working to prevent suicide.
