Through its Phase II project (2025–2026), implemented in partnership with TOYBOX in Addis Ababa, Addis Ketema Sub-City, CHADET has supported 27 street-connected children to transition from non-formal to formal education. Of the 28 children assessed, 27 successfully passed the government-administered Birhan Mizena assessment. Having acquired foundational literacy and numeracy skills at CHADET’s Non-Formal Education Centre, the children have now joined regular daytime classes in four government schools for the 2026/2027 academic year.
CHADET supported their transition by providing scholastic materials and continues to follow up on their school attendance and educational progress. This achievement marks an important step towards expanding educational opportunities and building brighter futures for street-connected children.
