Foster to adopt

We believe every child deserves a loving family. That’s why Bethany works with urgency to keep children with their family of origin. When that’s not possible, we find a supportive and loving home for vulnerable children.

Families instead of orphanages

Family-based care offers a proven solution to protect vulnerable children around the world. We partner with local churches and communities to identify and train families to foster and adopt children in need. We see amazing transformations when a child grows up in a family rather than an institution.

In collaboration with Ethiopia’s Ministry of Women, Children, and Youth (MoWCY), Bethany Ethiopia has served orphaned and vulnerable children through its flagship and innovative foster-to-adopt program for the last ten years. In 2019, Bethany Ethiopia was awarded a United States Agency for International Development (USAID) grant that works in partnership with Ethiopia’s government to raise awareness and implement alternative family-based care for vulnerable children.

Help support our work in Ethiopia

When a child isn’t able to remain with their family, we help open the door to a safe, stable home. Our goal is to equip local families to provide loving homes so children can thrive.
