Mission Statement
There are one million orphans in Ethiopia, many of them fending for themselves. AIDS incidence in the general population is about one in six persons, and the epidemic is growing. A similar proportion of children orphaned by AIDS is also infected with HIV. There are about 120,000 new cases of HIV infection among children each year. The country is overwhelmed by the needs of their orphans.About Us
AHOPE stands for African HIV Orphans: Project Embrace. AHOPE started nearly a decade ago as a hospice for HIV+ orphans who needed to be comforted and cared for before they passed away.Today, because of the availability of anti-retroviral treatment, AHOPE has evolved into a children’s home and community outreach organization supporting over 250 HIV+ children and families. In our homes, we care for, nurture, educate, and encourage HIV+ children who are destitute. We are also providing our teenagers the life-skills and job training they need as they become young adults.
We work with children and their families through AHOPE’s community outreach program. Every day HIV+ children in the community are brought to the Child Development Center (CDC) and library where AHOPE provides them with nutritious food, clothing, medicine, and schooling. Through the Center, AHOPE also provides training to their guardians and promotes community cohesiveness to help fight HIV/AIDS stigma. AHOPE also provides home-based care to HIV+ children and their families who live outside the city.
Join us and make a difference in a child’s life today.
