About
Partnership with Hope For Children Organization of Ethiopia
Hope For Children Ethiopia (HFCOE) is a local Ethiopian NGO that was established in November 2000 in response to the AIDS pandemic. The organisation provides community-based care and support to rejected children and disintegrating family structures. Their vision is to enable HIV/AIDS affected children and families to live with dignity in their local communities while ensuring that their basic needs are met.
Education basics
To achieve this vision, HFCOE provides essential services to children who have lost their parents and caregivers who are located in Addis Ababa. They now care and support children and sponsor them for the provision of school uniforms and stationary relevant for their education.
Health Ed
HFCOE also works to promote community knowledge and support for HIV-affected and infected children and caregivers. The organisation’s services include providing education, food, clothing, shelter, as well as advocacy on behalf of AIDS patients and psychological support.
Support and Training
HFCOE also provide community savings groups, grief counselling, HIV/AIDS counselling, peer education, vocational training, sewing skills, edible gardening skills so that they may be self-sufficient.
Pioneers
HFCOE's founder Yewoinshet Masresha, has been instrumental in changing the way children are nurtured worldwide. UNICEF has invited her to speak at several conferences to share her vision of orphaned children being loved in a supported family unit, rather than being left on the street or housed in a soulless, orphanage dormitory.
Graduate Success
The generation of HFCE graduates includes in its ranks engineers, doctors, health officers, nurses, pharmacists, midwives, teachers, lawyers, hairdressers, chefs, drivers, sociologists, anthropologists, drivers, film makers, sports masters, carpenters, singers, dancers, decorators and aid workers.
