Hope for Children United States (HFC-US) is a US-based section 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to improving the lives of AIDS orphans in Ethiopia. We are an entirely volunteer-run organization; every dollar of sponsorship monies goes directly to children sponsored at HFC in Ethiopia.

Today, there are nearly 1 million children in Ethiopia who have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS. On top of the overwhelming grief of watching one or both parents slowly die from AIDS, these children have to deal with ostracism, uncertainty, fear and starvation.

Together, we can offer hope to these children!

WHAT WE DO:

• Support a child sponsorship program - For $350 a year (less than $1 a day), you can ensure that a child has food, shelter, school fees and materials, and basic health care. Your sponsorship can mean the difference between life and death for a child.
• Support the Youth Center at Hope for Children -  The Youth Center provides a safe and supportive place where youth can learn and socialize.  For more information, click on HFC-Ethiopia and the Youth Learning Center.
• Support our newest initiative - vocational and educational scholarships for older youth at Hope for Children.
• Support other targeted projects at Hope for Children - See our descriptions under HFC-Ethiopia.
• Raise awareness and advocate for these most vulnerable, but often forgotten, victims of the AIDS pandemic - the children
