The Embracing Ethiopia project
The children living in orphanages have been orphaned due to rampant poverty, disease, and civil war. Although the children are considered fortunate because they have a roof over their heads and the promise of food every day, they are still victims of the squalor of the third world, and they live in incredible poverty.
The children at the orphanages frequently lack the daily necessities that we take for granted, such as suitable clothing, medical care, blankets, books, cribs, walkers, and toys. For these children, even basic schooling is rare.
AAI’s goal is to not only care for the ongoing needs of the children, but also to place as many of these children as possible into loving homes. Jesus said, “I tell you the truth. What you did for even the smallest of these people you did for me.” Matthew 25:40.
