Shone YeHiwot-Berhan CarePoint is located in the southern region of Ethiopia, approximately 170 miles from the capital city, Addis Ababa.
Shone YeHiwot-Berhan CarePoint is operated by Yehiwot Berhan Church, a local church that serves the community through intervention and development that focuses on impoverished families. Vulnerable children in the area often do not have the opportunity to attend school, and both daily meals and access to medical care are hard to come by. A number of families among the Shone community are small-scale farmers, utterly dependent on the weather and the amount of rainfall each year. This common practice in rural Ethiopia often leads the family unit to live “hand-to-mouth.”
Despite these hurdles, there is hope. Shone YeHiwot-Berhan CarePoint operates as a drop-in center, a safe place where children can come for care and support. With the partnership of Wesley and Allison Hart Connect Community, the children at Shone YeHiwot-Berhan CarePoint have the opportunity to grow physically, spiritually, and emotionally while the Wesley and Allison Hart Connect Community also experiences positive transformation!

Empower a Child at Shone Yehiwot Berhan
Empowering a child is one of the most personal ways that you can make an impact on global poverty. It is more than providing for their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. When you sponsor a child, you build a relationship that shows that child they are valuable, worth loving, and worth investing in.
For many orphaned or impoverished children, decisions are made for them. The Friendship Model empowers children to make an individual choice about their future and removes the stigma of the child as a victim in need of help. Learn more about the Friendship Model.
Your sponsorship is the starting point of a journey that equips vulnerable children, their families, and their communities to create sustainable transformation. When you sponsor a child with HopeChest, you are not just supporting one child — you are helping transform entire communities.

HopeChest’s approach to alleviating poverty is asset-based, because we believe that in every place on earth there are resources, not only for surviving, but for thriving and succeeding. Local leaders tell us what they do have instead of what they don’t have, and we walk with them to see their vision for their community come to fruition through development projects.
A fundraiser for Shone Yehiwot Berhan CarePoint is transformational rather than transactional. It promotes empowerment rather than dependence. Your support for these projects will go a long way as, together, we invest in holistic and sustainable solutions that address the root issues of poverty.
