Why ACOH began
A mission shaped by the hardships children face in Ethiopia.
ACOH was created in response to children living with poverty, abandonment, family loss, unsafe shelter, limited education, and inadequate access to healthcare.
The organization's purpose is not to present children as symbols of suffering. It is to build a practical path toward dignity, confidence, resilience, and long-term opportunity.
Read ACOH's mission and backgroundHow the program is designed
From trusted referral to support in the family home.
This pathway reflects ACOH's operating model for the 100-child campaign. The 100-child figure is a fundraising goal, not a current beneficiary count.
Community referral
Children are intended to be identified through referrals from community churches and government organizations.
Responsible review
Needs, safety, eligibility, consent, and appropriate support must be reviewed before assistance begins.
Family-home support
The approved model plans to deliver support where children live, with follow-up focused on safety, education, health, and stability.
What we plan to support
One connected system of care, not isolated services.
Safe shelter and basic needs
Planned support includes food, clothing, hygiene supplies, and safer living conditions.
Education
The campaign is designed to support school access, supplies, tutoring, and literacy.
Health and well-being
Planned assistance includes healthcare access, hygiene, nutrition, and emergency support.
Protection and resilience
The model includes safeguarding, mentorship, emotional care, and confidence-building.
Life skills and family stability
Support is intended to strengthen children and the family environments in which they live.
Rooted in Ethiopia
Local context must guide every decision.
The planned campaign is connected to Addis Ababa and a local ACOH representative in Ethiopia. Published partner information reflects formally confirmed relationships and responsibilities.
This keeps the website honest while making space for the local relationships, field updates, and program evidence that should grow with the organization.
Planned campaign scale
Clear targets, clearly labeled as targets.
ACOH's proposed one-year campaign budget is $200,000. These future figures are presented as goals, not as completed work or verified impact.
