What your sponsorship made happen this week…….thank you.

What if I told you that one of the greatest gifts you could give a teenage girl isn’t food… or clothing… but the ability to understand her own heart?

Many of the girls in our Keeping Kids Home program have experienced more hardship than most of us could imagine. Poverty, neglect, abuse, loss, and instability don’t just affect where a child lives—they shape how she thinks, feels, and responds to the world around her.

Because of your generosity, our Girls Club is a place where healing happens.

This week, the girls learned about emotional intelligence—the ability to recognize, understand, and respond to their emotions in healthy ways.

Through journaling, creative activities, guided discussions, and quiet reflection, they practiced:
❤️ Naming what they’re feeling instead of hiding it.
❤️ Listening to what their bodies are telling them.
❤️ Understanding why certain emotions arise.
❤️ Learning healthy ways to respond instead of reacting.

For many of these girls, this is the very first time someone has taught them that their feelings matter.

Healing begins when a child realizes she is safe enough to be honest.

When she learns that fear doesn’t have to control her.

That anger doesn’t have to define her.

That sadness isn’t something to carry alone.

This is what your support makes possible.

You’re not simply helping a girl stay in school or providing food for her family.

You’re helping raise a young woman who will know how to navigate life with wisdom, resilience, and hope.

That’s the kind of transformation that changes families for generations.

Thank you for making moments like these possible.

If you’d like to help another girl experience this kind of healing, you can sponsor a child in our Keeping Kids Home program for $75 a month. Together, we’re not just changing circumstances—we’re helping restore hearts.

The first four weeks were the hardest.

Every day, she had to choose not to go back to the life she once knew.

A young mother who had lived on the streets.

A woman who battled addiction with her child on her hip.

Someone the world may have counted out.

Today, she is clean.
She is rebuilding her life.

And she’s learning to become an automotive mechanic—breaking barriers in a field where very few women have the opportunity to thrive.

She isn’t just learning to repair vehicles.

She’s rebuilding her future.

This is what restoration looks like.

Because of your generosity, women at our Kalkidan Center don’t just survive—they heal.

They receive counseling, discipleship, life skills, vocational training, and the opportunity to discover that their past does not determine their future.

One courageous “yes” at a time, lives are being transformed.

Thank you for believing in women like her before they could believe in themselves.

Your support is helping write stories of freedom, dignity, and hope that will impact generations.

Together, we aren’t simply changing lives.

Together, we’re changing the story. ❤️

If you’d like to help another young woman leave life on the streets behind and build a future filled with hope, we’d love to have you join us.

Every gift helps provide the counseling, training, and Christ-centered care that makes stories like this possible.

They aren’t holding snacks. They’re holding survival.

That yellow substance in their hands is shoe glue.

Many children living on the streets of Ethiopia inhale the fumes to numb hunger, fear, cold, trauma, and loneliness. For a few moments, it dulls the pain of sleeping outside, going days without food, and believing no one is looking for them.

It doesn’t solve their suffering.
It simply helps them forget it for a little while.

These photos were taken by our outreach team as they walked the streets, building relationships with boys who are living this reality every single day.

Our staff doesn’t begin by asking them to change.

They begin by learning their names.
By sitting beside them.
By listening to their stories.
By offering food, compassion, and the hope that there is another way to live.

Trust is built one conversation at a time.

And when a boy is ready, he is invited into our JOY Center—a safe place where he can eat nutritious meals, receive medical care, counseling, education, discipleship, and begin healing from the trauma of life on the streets.

We’ve watched boys who once clung to a glue become boys who now cling to hope.

We’ve watched children who believed they had no future discover that they are deeply loved by God and created with purpose.

Jesus has always gone after the one.

And we will keep going into the streets until as many children as possible know someone is looking for them.

Would you pray for our outreach team today?

Pray for wisdom, protection, and open hearts as they meet boys still living on the streets.

If you’d like to help bring another child off the streets and into safety, comment HOPE, and we’ll share how you can be part of changing a child’s story. ❤️
