About
AHOPE’s mission is to serve the children of Ethiopia, with a primary emphasis on caring for orphans infected with HIV.
AHOPE for Children is a non-profit organization whose mission is to serve the children of Ethiopia, with a primary emphasis on caring for orphans infected with HIV.
In Addis Ababa, AHOPE's two pleasant, well-staffed Children Homes care exclusively for orphans who are HIV+ and have no extended family to care for them. Many of these children are now finding their forever families through adoption.
AHOPE's Community Outreach Program enables orphaned children to remain within their extended families and culture, while receiving medical care, education, food, and other services.

1. Ethiopia faces the devastation of the AIDS epidemic. A generation is dying from AIDS, leaving behind millions of children, many of whom are HIV+.
2. In our two Children Homes, 100 HIV+ orphans receive medications, a balanced diet, education and enrichment activities.
3. Adoption gives a forever family to these orphaned children. Once considered a terminal illness, HIV has become a chronic and manageable condition.
4. AHOPE's Community Outreach program enables orphaned children to remain within their extended families and their culture, despite severe poverty.
5. Children within these destitute families receive medical care, food, clothing, psycho-social support, and education.
