Stories from the Field

Why We Exist

Every child is a gift — none is a curse

South Omo is a region of rich cultural diversity and natural resources, yet it faces significant socio-economic challenges. In parts of the region, the traditional belief known as Mingi has labelled some children as cursed, leaving them abandoned or at risk.

We respond with the love of Christ: a safe home, daily care, education, and a family where every child is known by name.

Our Vision
To raise a generation in South Omo, discipled within their own context and holistically developed to serve as Christ-like, socially responsible agents of change in their communities.

Children at risk

Children affected by Mingi and other hardships need safety, belonging, and a future.

Educational gaps

Many children from pastoralist settlements have limited access to schooling.

Limited native leadership

The region needs a new generation of local, Christ-like leaders for the Church and society.

What We Do

Caring for the whole child

Our work is holistic — meeting the spiritual, educational, and physical needs of every child God brings to us.

A Child's Voice
Before Omo Beeza, I had nothing — no food, no school, no family. Now I have all of that and more. I have God's love, and I have a future.
