Hope for Korah Information

Our vision is to break the cycle of extreme poverty and to offer hope and a better future to the vulnerable children and families living in Korah, Ethiopia. Hope for Korah implements a comprehensive approach towards transformational development. Our plan centers primarily on building up the poorest families in the community, empowering them to grow, to generate income, and to help their children excel at life and school. To do so, we provide the whole family with holistic care including physical, spiritual, psycho-social, educational, and economic empowerment. We strive to keep families healthy and together, acting through the love and compassion of Christ so that each person can come to know their inherent worth, meet their full potential, live with dignity, and become self-reliant, bringing long-term sustainable change to the Korah community at large. We are committed to serving and empowering the people of Korah as we come alongside Ethiopian staff, leaders, the Korah community and local government supporting them in their vision and dreams for their people. We seek to live out our values of sustainability and cultural competency. To achieve this, HFK dedicates its efforts to an attainable and permanent strategy through our operational agreement with the Ethiopian government, collaboration with our Ethiopian staff and creating local partnerships that further our impact for training, resources, program linkages and experience-sharing connections. All HFK programs are administered by Ethiopians and we employ more than 50 staff, many of whom live within the Korah community. Our partnership and multifaceted approach have proven to be an effective and powerful advocacy combination that has yielded tangible and ongoing results. All that we do centers around holistic care and the process of transformational development, which we believe can impact the entire community of Korah, Ethiopia.
