Thousands of Children Need Your Help to Get Back to Loving Family...
More than 600,000 children are living on the streets in Ethiopia, many of whom have been traumatically separated from family not because of neglect or abuse but because of poverty, systemic barriers, trafficking, and exploitation.
Through the guise of promises for a better education or a work opportunity to provide for their family, these children were lied to and tricked into leaving their loving families only to face abuse and instability once sucked into the horrors of trafficking.
Faced with a choice no child should have to make—these children as young as five or six years old have to decide between continual mistreatment or the unknown terrors of living on the streets.
In most cases, the abuse is so bad, they eventually run away and are forced to live on the streets.
As they navigate the life-threatening realities of homelessness—starvation, exploitation, and continued abuse—their childhood trauma remains untreated and continues to grow with each passing day.
And the worst part is, the vast majority of these children have loving family. They just have no way to find or return to that loving family.
But YOU can change that! You can restore family!
Your gift today will help empower a relentless and loving parent to rescue their precious child by providing the financial and support services they need to find their child, help them begin to heal, and be reunited.
Unfortunately, few options currently exist for safe, trauma-wise reunification support—but thankfully our Houses of Hope in Ethiopia have already helped 150+ children reunite with loving family.
And with your support, our prayer is that God will use whatever each of us can give to stand up for and fund 150 more reunifications!
We are specifically praying for the children who are currenly in our Houses of Hope waiting for reunification.
Children like 11-year-old Abti*, who was separated from his mother when they traveled into the city to find assistance to cultivate their land. Lost, afraid, and in a vulnerable situation, Abti was forced into child labor until he escaped.
Found living on the streets, the city police brought Abti into our care a little over two months ago. Abti is already beginning to heal in miraculous ways and desires to be reunified with his mother and father.
But we need your support to make this reunification possible.
You may feel like you only have five small loaves of bread and two fish to offer, but we have complete faith that, through God's grace, He will multiply whatever we give to help children who need to be reunited with family.
Trafficking may have torn a child and mother apart, but you can unlock a path back to family for a child like Abti today.
No matter if you can give $10 or $1,000—will you please make a gift today to help a mom rescue her child?
Thank you for faithfully partnering with us as we work to disrupt trauma and reunite children around the world with loving, prepared family. Because no child should be alone.
