We rescue, restore, and raise vulnerable children across Ethiopia's Tigray region
Operation Rescue Ethiopia exists to rescue children from poverty, abandonment, and abuse, providing a safe home, quality education, nutritious meals, and loving care so every child can thrive.
A future where every Ethiopian child grows up safe, educated, and full of hope, regardless of their background or circumstance.
Every child deserves love, safety, and dignity.
We invest in learning as the path out of poverty.
Local roots, local trust, local impact.
Long-term transformation over short-term relief.
