BTO Australia and BTO Ethiopia
Beyond The Orphanage Australia is a Not for Profit Organisation which was set up to provide support and funding for organisations overseas such as Beyond the Orphanage Ethiopia. They are two separate organisations that work closely together to achieve the vision of the organisation. BTO Australia is run on a completely volunteer basis by a group of committed individuals who have different professional experience and skills.
BTO Ethiopia has an independent management board which decides the strategy and the plan to implement this vision locally. Additionally BTO Ethiopia has a strong partnership with the local government who work with us to provide eligible children for the program and also with the Kidane Mehret orphanage who provide guidance and support.
These links to the community are critical for the success of the organisation and form part of our governance model reflected in our policies and practices.
