28 HOMES CAMPAIGN
PROJECT COMPLETED

HOPE RESTORED
FOR 28 FAMILIES


Last month, we received the news from our program director in Ethiopia that twenty-eight families (an estimated 168 people) in the village we serve had lost their homes to a fire. These are families of children enrolled in Boys’ & Girls’ Towns of Ethiopia, who already come from desperately poor situations and would be unable to care for their children or keep them in school without our support. They had lost everything they owned and were in critical need of food, clothes and medical care.

We launched an emergency campaign to raise $28,000 to help those affected by the fire, and our amazing donors responded immediately. Together, we are able to rebuild these 28 homes and restore hope to 28 families. 

On behalf of the village of Zizencho, thank you!

THE RECONSTRUCTION PROCESS

"Many hands make light work."

The village of Zizencho came together to begin the construction of each home. After the devastating fire, the community has taken action to improve the way homes are built. Instead of the traditional roofs made of dried hay, the new homes will be constructed with iron sheet roofs, lowering the possibility of future fires.
