Our Work in Ethiopia
We’re restoring families and transforming futures for children in Ethiopia.
Disrupting trauma in Ethiopia looks like…
24/7 Transition Care.
A safe home for children separated from their families.
Family Search and Reunification.
Comprehensive family search services to reunite children with their loved ones.
Pre- and Post-Placement Counseling.
Support for both children and families before and after reunification.
Education and Family Empowerment.
Tutoring, parenting classes, financial literacy training, and a family savings program to support families on the path to resilience.
Community Strengthening.
Education, training, and community outreach to reduce the risk of family separation.
Capacity Building.
Empowering child welfare professionals, law enforcement, and community members with the knowledge and skills to provide trauma-wise care.
We remain determined to dismantle the complex web of trauma in Ethiopia.
