Addis Jemari

Addis Jemari We empower orphans, vulnerable children, and their families to end generational poverty in Ethiopia.

Our primary focus is on education, economic empowerment, discipleship, and social support. Addis Jemari means “New Beginnings” in Amharic — the official language of Ethiopia. We now work every day to empower the most vulnerable people in the communities we serve to have a fresh start at a new life of hope and self-reliance. Every aspect of our work finds its roots in our belief that every family i

n Ethiopia has the right to thrive spiritually, socially, educationally, and economically. At AJ Home, we strive to create a true family for once orphaned and vulnerable teenage girls. Through our Family Empowerment Program, we work to keep families together through sustainable solutions, including life skills training and income generation opportunities. Currently, we are serving more than 200 children, mothers, and fathers through our holistic approach.

Happy National BBQ Week and what better time to throw it back to one of our favorite events: BBQ & Baskets.

A clubhouse full of people who showed up for families in Ethiopia they'd never met. Food, community, and a whole lot of heart.
This is what Addis Jemari's community looks like on the ground in Raleigh. And we love it.

At Addis Jemari, these three beliefs aren't just words. They're the foundation of how we design our programs, support our families, and show up in Ethiopia every single day.

The goal was never to respond to broken families but to prevent them from breaking in the first place.
Through the Family Empowerment Program, we walk alongside families in Ethiopia and equip them with the tools, skills, and support they need to stay together and build something their children can inherit.

Because every family deserves a new beginning and lasting change starts before the breaking point.
This is why we show up every single day. If this moved you, share it. Someone in your circle needs to see this. 🙏

This is what a new beginning looks like.

We envision a future where every child and family in Ethiopia truly thriving, economically and spiritually.

Addis Jemari means "new beginning." Share this if you believe every family deserves one. 🙏

Healing creates new beginnings.

In Ethiopia, there is 1 mental health professional for every 2 million people (Source: PMC, 2021). For families already navigating poverty, that gap can be the difference between staying together and falling apart.

That's why in December 2025, Addis Jemari hired our first full-time professional counselor, Kalkidin. Since then, we've tripled our counseling capacity, reduced stigma around mental health, and created real pathways for the families and girls we serve to access the care they deserve.
Because mental health isn't a luxury. It's where healing begins. And healing is where new beginnings start.

Thank you Charlie's Heart Foundation for making this possible. 🙏

Halfway home. 🏠

Because of you, we've raised $2,007 toward our $9,300 goal and we have 3 days left.

The girls move into the new house this week. What we raise this week determines what's there to greet them: painted walls, working plumbing, a space that finally feels like theirs.

If you've been meaning to give, this is the moment.
