Kombolcha Children Hope Development Association (CHDA) CarePoint is located approximately 230 miles north of the capital city of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa.
The CarePoint is situated near a slum, among an impoverished community that lacks access to clean water and sanitation systems, and where living conditions are congested, resulting in vulnerability to sickness and disease. Many within the community work as daily laborers, making less than the equivalent of one dollar a day. Unemployment is particularly high for women.
Despite these challenges, Kombolcha CHDA has the opportunity to impact the community by showing the love of Christ in a tangible way. With the partnership of Candy Tennant Connect Community, the children at Kombolcha CHDA CarePoint have the opportunity to grow physically, spiritually, and emotionally while the Candy Tennant Connect Community also experiences positive transformation!

Empower a Child at Kombolcha CHDA
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.
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 Kombolcha CHDA 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.
