Very near Elala Village is the neighbouring village of Worer. Due to security issues at this time, we were prevented from our work in Elala. Thus, we served their needy neighbour Worer.

Elala Village is found 250km (about 155 miles) from Addis Ababa. This village is in the eastern part of Ethiopia. Some of the largest import/export transportation passes through this village. Many of young women in Elala are engaged in prostitution for their incomes in this crossroads area. This contributes to high HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.
