What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Family Empowerment Program
Addis Jemari works directly with economically disadvantaged mothers and fathers who are struggling to meet their family’s basic needs. We take a holistic approach by investing in each family economically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. We offer health and nutritional support, economic empowerment and life skills training, counseling services, discipleship opportunities, and educational support
Addis Jemari Home- Reintegration Program
Our reintegration program is a safe and loving home for orphaned and vulnerable teenage girls who no longer have parental care or have aged out of the orphanage system. Our model is evident in all aspects of life as the team in Ethiopia meets their physical needs and invests in their spiritual and emotional well-being. Our Ethiopian staff provides not only for the physical needs of our girls, but also for that of the spiritual and emotional needs. This holistic approach, through education, discipleship, social support and economic empowerment, moves our AJ Girls from a place of merely surviving to thriving.
