What We Believe

Lunch Prayer - NG_2

As an organization, there are seven values that motivate the work of The Forsaken Children: We are totally dependent on God. We trust that Jesus, not The Forsaken Children, is the Savior the street children of Ethiopia need. We believe that God designed every child to be a part of a family. We respect children. [...]

Watch Alemayu’s Reunion With His Mother

Alemayu, an 11-year-old boy, was taken from his home in rural Ethiopia when he was 7-years-old to work in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s Capital. Seen here is the moment he sees his mother for the first time after being gone for 4 years. Thanks to The Forsaken Children and especially their partner, The Onesimus Children Development Association, Alemayu is now living with his family again.

    On the Farm Update #3 – Chickens

Apples are a long-term sustainability strategy, requiring about 5 years to produce significant income. Chickens, on the other hand, are [...]

  • On the Farm Update #2 – Apples

    Since the idea of growing apples was the first thing that brought us to Ethiopia, I thought it fitting to share this aspect of the farm next in this series of updates. Apple production started in Chencha 10-15 years ago and has since become a very important part of the economy in that area. Many [...]

    On The Farm Update #1 – Welcome to the Farm

    We’ve drifted into the new year here in Ethiopia. The celebrations are over now, and we are settling into the pace of life in 2005. (That’s not a typo – the Ethiopian calender is about 7.5 years behind the Western calender). The rains should stop this week, which signals a time of wait and watch [...]

  • Construction of the hatchery building began early this year. Just look at the progress that has been made - it's over 90% complete!

    What Does Change Look Like

    I am happy to report that $39,465 came in through the Chicks for Change Campaign for the Kota Ganate chicken hatchery! The changes that I am seeing firsthand because of your giving blow me away.
