Maranatha Hope for the Hopeless Street Children Program

City: Addis Ababa

The Maranatha Gospel Ministry ("Maranatha") was established in 1993 to foster the growth and development of female street children in Ethiopia. Originally, it was only able to offer the children lunch on a daily basis because it did not have a facility. Now they have two homes and care for both boys and girls. Maranatha's goal is to place children with a family. Most, if not all, of the families are poor, so the Ministry continues to provide basic necessities for the children such as food, clothing, medical care, and educational aid.
