ACT NORWAY

ACT Norway is our administrative headquarters for partnerships and fundraising. We have a dream to provide ten children a safe home where they can express their own individuality, and allow them to explore being children.

 

If you’re ever in the Oslo area, we encourage you to stop by for a visit and see how we work. Contact us to learn more about our efforts.

HOME IN JIGJIGA

Through the Jigjiga project our mission is to provide essential support and a nurturing home for children and homeless families who need it the most, all while preserving the close-knit communities they come from.

 

We want to emphasize that this is not a orphanage. ACT Empowered builds dedicated homes for development, where we prioritize the needs of each child in our care. By working closely with the local communities, relatives who could not support them financially, we ensure a safe and supportive environment that paves the way for a stable future for these incredible children.

 

To learn more about our transformative work, we invite you to delve deeper into our initiatives.

HOUSE UPDATES 

​In 2023, we sent approximately 100 000 NOK to continue on the house.This has covered the kids living costs, basic living expenses and other expenses but also covered part of the building costs for the ACT home.

 

Due to the 200% inflation it has been challenging finishing on time, but thanks to your support we keep putting a brick at a time. Click to learn more about this.

APRIL 2024

In April 2024, ACT Empowered raised 23,829 NOK through Speils, enabling us to support orphaned children and internally displaced families in the Somali region of Ethiopia. Donations provided nutritious food and new clothes for Ramadan and Eid, and helped families start businesses to achieve economic independence. We are deeply grateful for your generous contributions.

Thank you for your continued support!

March 31st, 2024

ACT Empowered og våre fantastiske frivillige delte ut suppe til hjemløse og trengende i Oslo. Etter suksessen med fjorårets limonadesykkel, hvor vi også delte ut suppe, gjentok vi denne viktige innsatsen.

En stor takk til alle frivillige som bidro til dette arrangementet. Vi setter stor pris på deres engasjement og hjelp!
