Helping people

help themselves

We DO NOT believe poverty is ended through charity. We DO believe it can end through opportunity. Outreach Ethiopia empowers the most vulnerable to become self-sufficient and to thrive instead of just survive.

Together, we can create lasting change. We already are – see our success stories.

Thinking Forward

Self-sufficiency provides security and hope

Outreach Ethiopia has been working with the children and elderly in the small rural town of Weledi in Ethiopia to create jobs, income, social capital, and food security since 2005.

Our next big initiative is to create a sustainable community with aeroponic and aquaculture fish farming. Watch our video to learn more about Outreach Ethiopia and our new initiative.
