We love our Elders and we need others who will demonstrate love to them too!! The Elders are in need of more sponsors! Visiting them is always such a joy. Recently, they were so excited to receive their new fleece sheets. These will bring much warmth and comfort during the cold and rainy Korah nights. We also were able to get everyone outside including Adana! He has been bedridden for a long time and it was so wonderful to see him outdoors with a big smile on his face! We are in need of at least 15 sponsors giving $60 per month to help bring love and dignity to these men who are all living with leprosy. If you would like to give a one time gift or become a monthly sponsor, please contact Eve at eve@hopeforkorah.com or use the form at the end of these photos. more photos...
What began as an outcast leper community eighty years ago has now grown into Korah, an urban slum with an estimated 130 000 people situated near the city garbage dump in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The community is consumed with poverty, where families are broken apart through desperation, illness, and death. OUR MISSION STATEMENT: "Loosening the yoke of extreme poverty in Korah, Ethiopia and bringing hope to those who live there." Isaiah 58:6-7 KEEPING FAMILIES HEALTHY & TOGETHER!
