Sponsorship
Make a monthly, tax-deductible donation to help specific families in Korah.
GIVE so that another might LIVE! Our sponsorship program provides for a child’s basic needs to be met such as food, shelter, and education. You will feel a connection with your sponsored child through letters and pictures. It will bless your life and soften your heart, and most importantly change the world for a child in need.
Our sponsorship program entails:
Sponsored kids have food distributed each month to them from our on ground partner ministry in Korah. Nutrition is vital to a child’s growth and development and sponsorship ensures that they do not have to go hungry.
We believe that education is the answer to a better future of the children of Korah. Sponsorship allows kids the opportunity to attend school instead of spending their days begging for food on the streets or searching through the trash dump.
Sponsorship helps the community of Korah by empowering kids! It gives them hope for a better future and therefore brings hope to the entire community.
Sponsorship changes lives! We believe that sponsorship not only changes the life of a child in need, but it will change the sponsors life too. Winston Churchill said it best, “we make a living by what we get,we make a life by what we GIVE.”

Woreka
Woreka has been hired to work at our BeMore Girls Home to help with the new girls that have recently entered our home. She helps cook, clean, and care for the girls on a daily basis. She is incredibly caring and hardworking and the girls love her. Woreka came to Addis Ababa from the Oromia region of Ethiopia just over a year ago. She came due to ongoing conflict in the region that made her life very unstable. She came with virtually nothing and is currently living in a very small, unstable home with limited basic necessities. We are looking for a sponsorship to supplement Woreka's income so that she can better provide for herself and move into secure housing. Please consider sponsoring Woreka and helping us care for her better as she helps us care for the special girls in our BeMore Girls Home.
Ayelech Sugebo
Ayelech is an older mother in Korah who just moved to Addis Ababa to live with her son after surgery on her eyes. Ayelech has been blind for most of her life and had surgery to help improve her vision. The surgery was not completely effective and she will likely have another soon, but because of this she is not able to work or live on her own. She lives with her son Tamiru, who is one of our social workers through Tesfaye's sponsorship program. He and his wife care for Ayelech but with their own family to care for and their own set of struggles living in Korah, they are in need of further assistance for Ayelech. Please consider sponsoring Ayelech and supporting this family that is such an integral part of our sponsorship program!

Bemnet
Bemnet is a bright and resilient 12-year-old girl who recently joined our BeMore Girls Home. She was born to a teenage mother who gave Bemnet to her own mother in hopes of giving her daughter a better life. Bemnet spent her early childhood in the Ethiopian countryside with her grandmother, who loved her dearly but struggled to provide for their basic needs. They rarely had enough food and Bemnet was unable to attend school.
About a year ago, Bemnet’s grandmother made the difficult decision to bring her back to her mother in Addis Ababa, believing the city might offer more opportunities. Unfortunately, Bemnet faced months of hardship and abuse before being helped by a local organization that provided temporary shelter and care. She was later referred to a government-run orphanage, where she spent the next nine months before finally being welcomed into our Girls Home.
Now, with the safety and stability of the BeMore Girls Home, Bemnet is beginning to heal and dream again. She has immediately fit in with the other girls and is always first to help and play with others. With the support of a sponsor, Bemnet will have everything she needs to grow in a safe, nurturing environment. Please consider joining Bemnet on her new journey toward a bright future!
Lia
Lia is an energetic and loving 8-year-old girl who has already endured more than most children her age. She was born in the Ethiopian countryside to a young mother and father who separated when she was just a toddler. Unable to provide the care Lia needed on her own, Lia’s mother sent her to live with her grandmother when she was 5 years old. Tragically, just a year later, her grandmother passed away.
Lia was then sent to live with her father and stepmother, but it was a deeply unsafe environment where she faced rejection and severe abuse. After two painful years, Lia ran away and began surviving on her own in the streets. Eventually, she was found by local police and taken to a government-run orphanage, where she remained until being welcomed into our BeMore Girls Home.
Despite everything she has been through, Lia is incredibly bright, warm-hearted, and full of potential. She is now in a safe and nurturing space where she can rest, learn, and begin to thrive. Please consider sponsoring Lia, allowing her to receive the consistent care, education, and love she deserves as she builds a brighter future.
Mihiret Girls Home
Mihiret has been part of our BeMore Girls Home since the very beginning. At 14-years-old, she’s the oldest girl in the home and has naturally stepped into the role of a nurturing, steady older sister — not just to her two younger biological sisters, but to all of her new sisters in the home. Mihiret came to us from a rural, conflict-affected part of Ethiopia after losing both of her parents. Despite experiencing profound loss at a young age, Mihiret is filled with strength, warmth, and a quiet determination that inspires everyone who knows her.
She is so thoughtful, smart, and always dreaming — often sharing the places she wants to see, the things she hopes to learn, and the life she dreams for herself. Mihiret plays such an important role in shaping the spirit of our home. She brings resilience, curiosity, and a deep sense of care to everything she does. By sponsoring Mihiret you help cover her monthly needs — food, shelter, education, emotional support, and more. Consider sponsoring Mihiret and championing her on her journey!
