Sponsor a child or a family in need:

Can you extend a hand in love to a child or family
in need? Families and communities benefit in
tangible ways from sponsorship. Through Bethany,
your money provides direct and specific care
based on the individual needs of a family. When
you sponsor through Bethany, you will join a group
of sponsoring individuals to provide the level of
care that is needed.

  About Ethiopia:

Ethiopia is located in eastern Africa, west of Somalia.  With an economy based primarily on agricultural, on-going struggle with drought and poor land cultivation has created devasting unemployment rates.  Coffee is an important part of Ethiopian culture and economy.

This fund is designed to provide a way to meet the most urgent global needs.
