The mission behind the Trampled Rose program is to keep students in school, while providing each student dignity, freedom and love along the way. The students we help live in rural Ethiopian villages and are in the most need of assistance. Many of them are orphaned or disabled.
In the Trampled Rose program, each student is given their own bank account and provided funds per month. With this money, they are empowered to make the best financial choices for themselves to stay in school. These choices may include purchasing text books, required uniforms, required school supplies, menstrual care, food, and/or shelter. Some of the students even choose to use a portion of the money to help their siblings stay in school. We believe that allowing them to make these decisions gives them lessons in responsibility, as well as the ability to make the appropriate choice for their own needs.
