About Korah

The village of Korah began 80+ years ago when the first leprosy hospital, ALERT Hospital, opened for business. This hospital was established by Dr. Ross, from the U.S., and a Dutch doctor named Chris Dorman. After hearing about the rampant spread of leprosy, these two men approached King Hale Selase to request land to establish a hospital specifically for the treatment of leprosy. King Hale Selase was willing to give land, but only land that was far from the town and in the forest to keep the people with leprosy separate from everyone else.

Our Story

In january of 2017, Darci and Shaydon Burke were visiting the community of Korah, Ethiopia on a humanitarian trip.  Throughout that day they had been handing out clothing and monetary donations to the people of Korah. At the end of the day as they were loading the vans to leave, a little girl walked up to them.  Her clothes and shoes were torn and tattered. She was wearing one shoe that was too big, and one that was too small. They were only being worn to cover the bottom of her little feet. Darci, Shaydon, and the team they were with had already given out all of the donations that they had brought for the day and felt bad they had nothing to give this little girl, especially a pair of new shoes.
