Welcome to Hope Community Services, Ethiopia

Even when it has a respite for peace, instabilities in the neighboring countries made it a haven for refugees from trouble spots around it. Besides, the man made calamities it was plagued by natural disasters of drought and famine. Though it is endowed with much natural resources it is one of the poorest countries of the world.

Poverty in Tigrai has been compounded for over a century by natural and man-made disasters. The people suffer from poverty and diseases. AIDS is a pandemic in the region and its spread is very alarming. 5% of the 77 million population are living with the virus. Over 800,000 children are already orphaned by AIDS. Children are the innocent victims. The elderly who lose their supporting children to AIDS are driven into begging to survive. Children and youth don't have a gainful pass time and hence are giving in to self-destructive habits.
