The Shepherd's Fold
Alliance ("TFSA" means "hope" in
Amharic) is a humanitarian organization,
founded by three churches in Addis, that helps street children, orphans, and children
whose parents are in dire need. The program specifically targets
orphaned children because they are the most likely to be abused and exploited. Rather
than housing all of the children, the majority are sheltered and cared for by extended
family or foster parents. This not only alleviates some of the financial burdens of TFSA,
but it also gives the children a semblance of family life and normalcy.
