About Us
In the heart of Tigray, our beloved churches and monasteries stand as symbols of faith, hope, and tradition. Yet, recent events have shaken the core of these sanctuaries. A dearth of clergy, combined with the heartbreaking events unfolding in Tigray, has silenced many of our places of worship, leaving a void in the lives of countless believers.
The Crisis:
The turbulent times have seen many of our revered Felege Hiwot (Abinet) - the esteemed church fathers responsible for imparting spiritual education to our young ones - displaced and disheartened. Sacred spaces lie in ruins, and many churches have ceased services altogether, leaving their congregations spiritually stranded.
Our Intervention:
We believe in resilience and revival. Our solutions lie in rejuvenating the Felege Hiwot (Abinet) schools - the very cradle of our future church leaders. By supporting and ensuring these schools have the resources they need, we hope to see our churches vibrant and alive once more. Moreover, we aim to stabilize the lives of our church fathers and their students by addressing their fundamental needs.
Your Role:
Become a beacon of hope.
By sponsoring a student with just $15 a month, you provide them with essential provisions like food, books, and housing. Your contribution not only sustains their physical well-being but also fuels their spiritual journey.
Our Ultimate Vision:
With your support, we aim to breathe life into the Felege Hiwot (Abinet) schools across Tigray, transforming them into centers of spirituality and excellence. Our ultimate goal is to ensure the Orthodox Church in Tigray thrives, led by spiritual fathers guiding their flock towards eternal salvation.
Our Progress:
Thanks to kind souls like you, we've already made headway in our mission. We're currently supporting 50 students at Kuiha St Mary Kine (Philosophy) and New Testament School, covering their lodging and food expenses. At Mai Anbesa Mahitsente Mariam all-encompassing School, we're ensuring 32 students don't go hungry. Three Felege Hiwots in Maychew are receiving monthly food support and fulfillment of the books they need. Twfite Abew provided on-demand support to Debre Damo Gedam and Agbe (Ademna) Kidnemehiret Gedam. This month, logistics are arranged to initiate monthly support to Kidus Yared Felege Hiwot in Axum Tsion, Abrha Atsbiha Gedam near Adigrat, and Kahinat Gubea from West Tigray (IDPs in Axum).
