Hand in Hand

BTM partners with Hand in Hand, a local ministry serving the communities of Korah and Chirkos, both located in the heart of Ethiopia’s capital city, Addis Ababa. Korah was formed by people with leprosy about 80 years ago. It is their home along with those living with HIV/ AIDS, widows, orphans and other families who experience tragedy daily. Many of our families living in the Korah community live in Addis Ababa’s land fill and rent homes made of plastic, tin, stick and tarps. Chirkos is considered the slum area of the city; most families here are uneducated and live in extreme impoverished conditions. Prostitution is a common way of life for single mothers to support their children. We’re bringing hope to these families one life at a time.

We are so grateful to partner with Hand in Hand. They work hard to educate these families and point them to Christ. Through our Sponsorship program we are able to provide them with medical services, educational assistance, Christian counseling, and an income generation program with counseling along the way. It's so exciting to see how radically lives can change through sponsorship. The testimonies already of some of our mother's leaving prostitution and accepting Christ as their Savior is absolutely priceless.

All the praise and glory go to our Lord Jesus Christ for the grace and hope that is in Him.
