Generally we discovered the following facts about elders in Ethiopia: 45% of them eat only once in a 24 hour period, 20% of them live with a grandchild, and 95% of them never attend Sunday service at a church. Our goal is to change that.
Our mission is to provide the abandoned elderly with the following:
- Meals 3 times a day
- Clothing and other basic necessities of life
- Basic health care
- Shelter
- Hearing aid and wheel chair service
- Spiritual needs
- Monthly community events
- Transportation to Sunday service once a week
- Spread the gospel among them and connect them with local churches
How we choose people to assist

We encourage you to help us in the following ways
- Pray for Ethiopia and our ministry
