Sponsorship
Make a monthly, tax-deductible donation to help specific families in Korah.
GIVE so that another might LIVE! Our sponsorship program provides for a child’s basic needs to be met such as food, shelter, and education. You will feel a connection with your sponsored child through letters and pictures. It will bless your life and soften your heart, and most importantly change the world for a child in need.
Our sponsorship program entails:
Sponsored kids have food distributed each month to them from our on ground partner ministry in Korah. Nutrition is vital to a child’s growth and development and sponsorship ensures that they do not have to go hungry.
We believe that education is the answer to a better future of the children of Korah. Sponsorship allows kids the opportunity to attend school instead of spending their days begging for food on the streets or searching through the trash dump.
Sponsorship helps the community of Korah by empowering kids! It gives them hope for a better future and therefore brings hope to the entire community.
Sponsorship changes lives! We believe that sponsorship not only changes the life of a child in need, but it will change the sponsors life too. Winston Churchill said it best, “we make a living by what we get,we make a life by what we GIVE.”

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.

Ruhama
Ruhama is a sweet 6-year-old girl who lives in Korah with her mother, Benalf. As a single parent facing serious health challenges with HIV, Benalf is unable to work and has little family or community support to rely on.
Although her own education ended after 10th grade, Benalf dreams of one day learning hairstyling so she can provide for her daughter in the future. For now, sponsorship is a lifeline — helping cover food, rent, and basic needs, and giving them hope where otherwise there would be none.

Woreka
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.
Lakech
Lakech came to Addis Ababa as a young girl, just 7 or 8 years old, seeking treatment for leprosy. What began as a search for healing became a lifelong journey of resilience. Over the years, she lost most of her fingers, parts of her hands, and has a severely deformed leg due to her complications. She now lives with ongoing pain and continues to navigate the lasting effects of her illness every single day.
Lakech never married or had children and she lives alone in a small home near the Korah Kids compound, with no family to rely on.

Sponsorship helps cover her rent, food, and necessary medical care that allows her to live with a sense of dignity and stability. She is incredibly thankful, and your support truly meets her in a place of real need.
