In Harar Ethiopia, Tesfa Alebachew cares for 92 children who are orphaned, abandoned or do not have anyone who is able to care for them. Tesfa, as a volunteer, provides food, shelter, care, love, protection, structure, guidance and a family to these vulnerable children. He had developed a local model of support having mobilized volunteers, local businesses and individuals to provide food (from hotels and restaurants), services for free (haircuts), rent for the shelter and clothing however, COVID, war in the country and hardship in the country dismantled that model of support.

At the beginning of COVID, Mothers With a Heart for Ethiopia became the only financial supporter of the shelter.  

Tesfa needs your support now. The children need your support now to protect, feed, shelter and care for them until the economy recovers from the pandemic, war and hardship enough for the local model of support to start again and provide at least some of the support needed.

The cost to provide for one child for one year is $1000.  If you are interested in sponsoring a child through Team Tesfa, please visit this link to learn more or to sign up.  Any donation you are able to make will help ensure that our  organization can meet the financial needs of the 92 children at Tesfa's Shelter.
