New Home for Ethiopian orphans

We are currently seeking funds in order to buy a Home for our 40 orphans in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. We have created a beautiful home for these children, whom we house, educate and love. We have to move them almost every year and decided to buy a Home now as it is too unsettling for them.

June 2010 - June 2011

    Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

    Beneficiaries

    40 orphans directly and hundreds of other families through community programs. There are 10 mio orphans by 2012 in Ethiopia and we are making a small but valuable contribution in reducing hardship to children and families in general. Ethiopia is rich in culture and tradition but very poor in economic terms, we improve childrens and women's lives through education.
