BeMore Girls Home
We are currently working on a critical goal to rescue girls living on the streets of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It is known that 42% of the homeless population in Addis is under the age of 18. We think this is a staggering statistic. Homeless children are often exploited by human trafficking networks, which have a large presence in Ethiopia’s crime rings. Unfortunately, many of the young girls experiencing homelessness in Ethiopia fall victim to these evil and destructive networks. If they do not fall prey to traffickers, it is common for girls to otherwise be victims of rape and physical abuse. Sniffing glue is a common addiction as it helps to combat the effects of hunger and cold.
Please consider supporting our BeMore Girls home by making a one-time or monthly recurring donation. These funds are used to pay for rent, utilities, and the basic needs of the girls. Our hope is to be able to house up to ten girls.
The home provides a loving mother and father figure to care for their physical and emotional needs. Tekabe and Meti, along with the assistance of social workers, and other care providers work tirelessly to see that their needs are being met. We are so thankful to them and their sincere efforts at providing a safe and loving home for these girls.
Lia - Girls Home
Lia is an energetic and loving 13-year-old girl who has already endured more than most children her age. She was born in the Ethiopian countryside to a young mother and father who separated when she was just a toddler. Unable to provide the care Lia needed on her own, Lia’s mother sent her to live with her grandmother when she was 5 years old. Tragically, just a year later, her grandmother passed away.
Lia was then sent to live with her father and stepmother, but it was a deeply unsafe environment where she faced rejection and severe abuse. After two painful years, Lia ran away and began surviving on her own in the streets. Eventually, she was found by local police and taken to a government-run orphanage, where she remained until being welcomed into our BeMore Girls Home.
Despite everything she has been through, Lia is incredibly bright, warm-hearted, and full of potential. She is now in a safe and nurturing space where she can rest, learn, and begin to thrive. Please consider sponsoring Lia, allowing her to receive the consistent care, education, and love she deserves as she builds a brighter future.

Ruth - Girls Home
Ruth is the youngest of three sisters in our girls home and without a doubt, one of the brightest lights in it. Ruth is 8 years old and is hilarious, quick-witted, and always the first to jump in and help. Whether she’s making everyone laugh or quietly helping others, Ruth carries so much joy wherever she goes. She loves school and takes her studies seriously. Her favorite subject is English and she loves to practice with anyone she can. When asked what she wants to be when she grows up, Ruth always says a doctor and a mother.
Ruth has been with us for three years, after losing both of her parents and coming from a conflict-affected area. Her early years were full of challenges, but today, she is thriving - surrounded by love, laughter, and the stability of a family again. Please consider sponsoring Ruth and joining our community committed to loving and encouraging these girls in our BeMore Girls home.

Woreka - Girls Home
Woreka has been hired to work at our BeMore Girls Home to help with the new girls that have recently entered our home. She helps cook, clean, and care for the girls on a daily basis. She is incredibly caring and hardworking and the girls love her. Woreka came to Addis Ababa from the Oromia region of Ethiopia about two years ago. She came due to ongoing conflict in the region that made her life very unstable. She came with virtually nothing and is currently living in a very small, unstable home with limited basic necessities. We are looking for a sponsorship to supplement Woreka's income so that she can better provide for herself and move into secure housing. Please consider sponsoring Woreka and helping us care for her better as she helps us care for the special girls in our BeMore Girls Home.
