Programs and Projects
Arba Minch Hope Center
The HOPE center is just what the name says. It is a place to find HOPE. Poverty in Ethiopia is deeper than anything most Americans can ever imagine. The majority of the children that attend our center have lost either one or both of their parents. If their parent or guardian has a job they do not earn more than a couple dollars a day. Our center supports children from several neighborhoods. The local government has identified these children as the poorest of the poor. Families will live together in a home that is one room. This room will be where they sleep, cook and eat. Giving to the HOPE Center allows Love For Ethiopia to continue to support, feed and nurture the children who attend.
Giving Hope Prison Project
Donating to the Prison Projects helps Love for Ethiopia provide for the basic needs of the children living in the prison. basic needs include food, a cook, clothes, shoes and hygiene materials. It also helps supply the mothers with Bibles and a female pastor that teaches a weekly Bible Study if the mother wish to participate.
House of Hope
Donations to the House of Hope will be placed into an account that will provide Love For Ethiopia the means to purchase land and build a community outside of the prison gates for the children who are currently living with their mothers in prison. The goal is to provide a foster family for the children so that once their mother is released that they know how to navigate society. For example, the children do not know how to purchase goods from the market. They do not go to a neighborhood school so they do not have neighborhood friends. They do not know what a normal life outside of the prison gates feels like.
