Citibank donates 200 backpacks, supplies to Ethiopian-Israeli teens

The Ethiopian National Project (ENP) – a unique grassroots partnership of Israeli governmental agencies, global supporters and the leadership of the Ethiopian-Israeli community – kicked off the school year by distributing 200 backpacks and school supplies to Ethiopian-Israeli teenagers. With 65% of the Ethiopian-Israeli community’s children living under the poverty line, many families are simply unable to afford the ‘back-to-school’ basics. The back packs and school supplies, a generous gift from Citibank, will help alleviate these concerns for hundreds of Ethiopian-Israeli families this school year.
