We are excited to announce the opening of a second orphanage under Hope 4 Africa and Covenant Orphanage. Located in Debrebirhan, Ethiopia, the Debrebirhan project is making an impact on the lives of children affected by HIV/ AIDS.

The children who reside in Covenant Orphanage, for the most part, have become orphans due to the AIDS related death of one or both parents. Currently there are nine orphan children who are residing there from ages 3-12 years old. They are all HIV negative. As a member of the “family” at the Debrebirhan Orphanage, each child is now receiving:

Here is a list of some of the current living and maintenance needs:
We are hoping to raise some assistance so we can to continue to provide support for not only Debrebirhan and Covenant Orphanage, but it is our hope to be able to open another similar orphanage as soon as feasible and bring in even more children from off of the streets.
