About Us

We rescue orphaned children in Uganda and Ethiopia, and bring restoration to their lives and communities.

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.
