help support vulnerable women and children in ethiopia
ahope
Heavily impacted by the HIV/AIDS pandemic, Ethiopia is home to a unique and wonderful organization
called AHOPE. In 2002, AHOPE began, under the name Enat Home, as a hospice for orphaned children with HIV/AIDS. After the PEPFAR intervention and a partnership with World Wide Orphans Foundation, lifesaving anti-retroviral medication became steadily available to the children at AHOPE. Since that time, the organization has gone from providing end of life care to become “a program of hope for a real future for every child.”
Though our adoption program in Ethiopia is now closed, we continue to pass along funding to this credible, caring and compassionate organization. In addition to orphan care, AHOPE provides family preservation services through their Community Development Center. AHOPE also provides transition and skill services to children aging out of orphanage care through their many Youth Transition homes in Addis Ababa.
Hope for hossana
A project that began alongside Children’s Home’s Ethiopian 
adoption program, the Hossana School is now under ownership of Adams Thermal Foundation. Thanks to your wonderful support the school has grown steadily over the years and now has more than 250 students in grades K-8. Over 75% of the students attend tuition-free. Your support helps to provide vital transportation, school supplies, baseline medical care and more. Donations can be made directly to Adams Thermal Foundation or we will pass them to the project through Global Family Support.
ottoro school
A project that began alongside Children’s Home’s Ethiopian 
adoption program, the Ottoro School is now under ownership of Adams Thermal Foundation. Thanks to your wonderful support the school has grown steadily over the years and now has more than 550 students in grades K-8. After providing electricity to the village, and growing the school by adding classroom blocks as the student population grew, the next phase is to offer a much-needed meal program. Ottoro is a rural community that faces food insecurity; each year students have problems concentrating and end up dropping out as a result of inadequate nutrition. Donations can be made directly to Adams Thermal Foundation or we will pass them to the project through Global Family Support.
self help groups
A project that began alongside Children’s Home’s Ethiopian 
adoption program, Self Help Groups (SHGs) are now under ownership of Adams Thermal Foundation. Thanks to your wonderful support the project continues to grow, with over 200 women now participating. SHGs began in India and found success in other regions of Ethiopia. The SHGs supported through this project provide training, support and empowerment to women in Hossana. Women who work as daily laborers, fuel wood carriers or who beg to survive and are marginalized by society. SHGs provide them a platform to share their struggles, find strength and support amongst peers. The SHGs become a close-knit support system and foster a sense of community and belonging. Donations can be made directly to Adams Thermal Foundation or we will pass them to the project through Global Family Support.
