About Us
Help rescue, restore and empower orphaned children in Uganda and Ethiopia.
Our Vision
As a Jesus-centered organization we aim to rescue and bring restoration to orphaned children living in the harshest places. We accomplish this by partnering with families, community leaders, and churches to eliminate extreme poverty by addressing vulnerabilities, providing education, and creating opportunities to empower those who have been forgotten.
