Hope Ethiopia
In Ziway, Ethiopia, children need an education to break free from
gripping poverty. Public schools are lacking, so kids are left behind
without the hope of an education or a future. Our current Lifesong
School is not only giving hope, but also feeding 350 hungry children two meals each day. We have a critical need to build a 12 room
expansion to the school. Please join with us to make a difference in a child’s life.
