Ethiopia

4.6 million (reasons to go)

The third most populous country in Africa, Ethiopia is among the world’s oldest Christian nations, and the only African state that was never colonized.

Divided by the great Rift Valley, this land, which is twice the size of Texas, has an orphan crisis.  UNICEF estimates that one in ten Ethiopian children, about 4.6 million, are orphans.  As part of this trip, you will have the chance to minister to some of these children in a very humble and powerful way by simply going to the orphanages where they live and offering a helping hand.  Visiting Orphans listens to what orphanages need and tries to respond accordingly.

We are currently seeking church partners in the United States to "adopt" our partner orphanages in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.  If you or your church are interested in partnering with us please contact us.
