Happy New Year from all of us at Family Renewal 🎉

As we step into a new year, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported, partnered with, followed, and walked alongside us in every way, near and far.

This past year marked a meaningful season of growth for Family Renewal. We reached more families, strengthened more homes, expanded our work beyond Woliso and Addis Ababa to the eastern gem of Harar, and celebrated a major milestone with the official registration of Family Renewal in the United States, opening new doors for partnership and shared impact.

With thankfulness for how far we have come and excitement for what lies ahead, we step into this new year hopeful and expectant, ready to continue restoring families and touching more lives!

Wishing you a joy-filled New Year!

A couple of weeks ago, our team traveled to Harar to celebrate the graduation of 25 single mothers from the Resilient-Moms-Harar Pilot Initiative 🎉 , a meaningful milestone in Family Renewal’s expanding work to create sustainable, income-generating pathways for women across eastern Ethiopia.

Being there offered more than a celebration. It gave a glimpse into lives in motion. Through professional capability-strengthening and hands-on training, women who once faced deep economic and social hardship are now earning income in dignified ways and stepping into new mindsets of confidence, ownership, and possibility. This work is rooted in a social-enterprise model where all progress remains mission-locked and profits reinvested to strengthen families and communities over time.

Alongside the graduation, we also captured footage for an upcoming documentary that traces the personal journeys of the single mothers who have come through this program and the transformations that followed!

Enjoy some of our behind-the-scenes shots below:)

We’re grateful to have you with us! Stay tuned as the story continues 💛

A special shoutout to Ammi Kifle for all the amazing photography/videography work!
