About Us
Our Story
It started not with a grand plan, but with a single moment that made looking away impossible. Eyob and Biruh, an Ethiopian couple, were going about an ordinary day when they saw a child alone, hungry, with nowhere to go. That night, they asked themselves the question that would change everything: "If not us, then who?" They didn't wait for funding or a perfect plan. They started with what they had extra food, a few pairs of shoes, and an unshakeable belief that these children deserved better. Hope for the Streets was born from that conviction.
Today, as a small but dedicated team, we provide daily meals, medical care, clothing, shoes, and educational support to over 350 street children across Addis Ababa. We are still growing building the systems, the partnerships, and the visibility needed to reach every child who needs us. What began as one couple's act of conscience is becoming something larger. We are not done yet.
Our Programs
Reaching Street Kids
The plight of children living on the streets has always been close to our hearts. We are dedicated to reaching out to these vulnerable youth, offering them not just immediate relief, but a pathway toward stability, safety, and a sense of belonging.
Empowering Through Education
Education is the ultimate equalizer, but many children attending government schools face resource gaps that hold them back. We provide targeted tutoring and academic support to these students, ensuring they have the tools, guidance, and encouragement they need to succeed in their classrooms and beyond.
Specialized Health Support (Type 1 Diabetes)
As health professionals, we see firsthand the unique challenges faced by children living with chronic conditions. An essential upcoming project for our foundation is the launch of a specialized program dedicated to helping kids manage Type 1 Diabetes. We look forward to leveraging our medical background to provide critical education, resources, and care, ensuring these children can navigate their health safely and live life to the fullest.
How We Started (And Where We Are Going)
Great things often have humble beginnings. With nothing but a shared vision and the incredible support of a few good-hearted people, we started by providing regular, nutritious meals to just 20 children.
From those first 20 meals, the spark was lit. Today, we are currently feeding over 200 children, and we are on track to expand our reach to between 400 and 500 kids next month. What began as a small act of kindness has grown into a rapidly expanding foundation blending vital nutritional support, academic mentorship, and a forward-looking healthcare vision. We are living proof that when compassionate people come together, small beginnings can create waves of lasting change.
Thank you for being part of our story. Together, we are building a healthier, smarter, and more compassionate world for the children who need it most.
