Our Board of Directors

Today there are over 4.5 million orphaned or abandoned children in Ethiopia. Many of these children are abused, homeless, trafficked, and/or denied basic access to clean water, food and educational opportunities.

We are proud to have the individuals below support our mission to provide shelter, nourishment, clothing, medical care, and education to special needs, abandoned, and orphaned children. Our purpose also includes assisting impoverished mothers with children in southern Ethiopia.

Our first priority is to keep children with their parents and families through Community Outreach, providing assistance, training, and microgrants for income generating activities. However, when family preservation is not possible, we care for the children in our Children’s Village, a safe environment providing each of them with love, care and compassion as a member of our Netsanet family.
