We aim to raise the $30 – $50,000 needed to build a clean water well in Thon Met Village.
Read MoreWe begin by providing transportation for displaced families of South Sudan to Thon Met Village, 100 acres owned by our founder and located outside of Gambela, Ethiopia. Here we build homes for the new villagers where they can enjoy, for the first time for many, privacy and safety.
NEW HOMEWe provide education and training in agricultural skills so that the village can one day function as a self-sufficient cooperative.
AGRICULTURAL TOOLSOnce in the village, we focus on rehabilitating the women and children–providing medical care and basic necessities–to help them recover from the traumas experienced as refugees of war.
WELCOME PACKETWe also strive to raise awareness in the United States about the condition of those living in African refugee camps and the ongoing conflict in South Sudan. (LINK HERE to “Bring the story of refugees to your community”)
