ECF Mission Ethiopia

“As you did it to the least, you did it to Me…” Matt 25:40

Our Vision

Every child deserves an opportunity to get good education and support to build a better future, and we aspire to provide that opportunity and support to as many children in the world as we can. We also help families become self sufficient and support them selves and their families.

Our Mission

1. To support poor children in Ethiopia by providing the finance, facilities, and supplies needed for a proper education. In pursuing this, we believe good education will give these children the tools to achieve their full potential and have a better future.
2. To lead these children toward faith in Jesus Christ, to help them grow spiritually, and encourage them to attend local churches and be part of children ministries. We believe the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the children.
3. To enable capable parents to improve their skills and start small home-based business so that they would become self-sufficient and support themselves and their children.

Our Method

We are working side by side with dedicated and responsible team members who live in Ethiopia.

Our responsibilities include:-

• Raising money and send it to them in a timely manner.
• Communicate with them regarding the children’s need.
• Encourage and work with them side by side

The responsibilities of the team in Ethiopia includes:-

• Search and find eligible children (parentless children and/or children living with their parent/parents, but their parents can’t afford to pay for their school)
• Find a school close to their home and register the children.
• Manage the money, pay for the children’s school and school supplies as needed.
• Encourage the children to go to their local churches and help them to attend children ministries.
• Identify the parents who are capable of improving their employable skills.
• Identify potential methods, including training programs which would enable some of these parents gain better employment opportunities.
• Report all the activities around the children to the individual supporters.

Our Achievements

This program has changed the lives of more than 100 children and 25 mothers in 5 different locations in Addis Ababa. Some of the students have already graduated completing their undergraduate studies and have joined the program as volunteers to contribute their parts. We are working with the team in Ethiopia to expand the program and change the lives of many more children by sending them to school, covering their school expenses and assisting their parents with a small initial fund to start a job/small business that eventually makes them financially self-sufficient.

Future Plans

We plan to increase the number of the needy children and families we support.
