Since 2013, Life Center Ethiopia has been dedicated to serving orphans and widows. We are driven by a deep calling to share Christ’s love. Our motto, “We Share Love,” is not just words—it’s the heartbeat of everything we do.
Since the moment we opened our doors, our mission has been to restore hope, dignity, and a future for those who need it most. We believe every child deserves more than survival; they deserve the chance to dream, to thrive, and to step confidently into a future filled with possibilities.
One of the most inspiring examples of this mission in action is the journey of ten orphans in our care who began a T-shirt printing business.
These young souls, who have faced unimaginable challenges, were given the chance to rewrite their stories. Through a comprehensive design and graphics training program, they started to discover their talents and potential.
But we didn’t stop there. With the support of E Catalyst, they participated in a six-month program focused on work and skill development that not only equipped them with practical skills but also restored their confidence and provided them with a renewed sense of purpose.
Nothing Short of Miraculous
Through the prayers and support of Life Center Ethiopia’s partners, these orphans received modern design and printing tools—resources that opened the door to a brighter future. They launched a T-shirt printing business, creating beautiful, high-quality products!
But this isn’t just about T-shirts; it’s about empowerment. For the first time, these children experienced the joy of contributing, earning, and standing tall with pride. Their work has even been showcased at various Life Center events, where their talents shine brightly for all to see.
But God’s blessings didn’t stop there.
By engaging in discussions with the local government, these young entrepreneurs gained access to a government-owned shop, which now functions as their professional workspace and printing outlet!
This space is more than just a workshop—it symbolizes transformation, is a beacon of hope, and is a testament to what is possible when love and faith intersect.
As we reflect on their journey, we are filled with gratitude and awe. These 10 orphans, who once faced despair, now walk with confidence and purpose. They are living testimonies of God’s faithfulness—proof that no situation is beyond redemption and no life is too broken to be healed. Their resilience inspires us to keep pressing on, to reach more children, and to continue sharing God’s love in meaningful ways.
At Life Center, we are dedicated to ensuring that every orphan in our care has the best opportunities for success. Through education, skill development, and emotional support, we strive to remind them that they are deeply loved, valued, and capable of achieving greatness.
This journey reminds us of why we do what we do: it’s about the tears of joy on a child’s face, the pride in their accomplishments, and the hope that illuminates their future. Together, we press on in this mission.
Thank you to Rob and Barbi Raban and Truman Pollard, for all they have contributed to this project. We also appreciate everyone for being a part of this incredible journey with us!
