Empower Each Person we Serve
to be a Community Changemaker
Poverty seeks to make people feel helpless. But we want each child, student and widow we serve to know that they can have a positive impact on their community. Being a community changemaker gives back ownership and dignity, while also making a positive impact on families, neighborhoods and the entire country of Ethiopia!
“This program has the potential to inspire a ripple effect of transformation, not only strengthening families and neighborhoods but also contributing to Ethiopia’s long-term development and prosperity. By investing in people, we invest in the future of our nation.”
– Tamrat Layne
Former Prime Minister of Ethiopia
Meet Azeb
A Life Center Ethiopia Success Story
Azeb Alayu’s life has been marked by profound challenges and relentless hope. Raised in Sekota town, she became a caregiver for three children while still a child herself, a responsibility that made her dreams seem unreachable. Seeking a better future, she journeyed to an Arab country, only to endure years of grueling labor and hardship. Returning to Ethiopia, she felt broken, burdened by debt, and unsure of her path forward.
Everything changed when Azeb found Life Center Ethiopia. More than just aid, Life Center offered her family support, and belief in her potential. With their guidance, she began to heal, rediscover her purpose, and dream again. Today, Azeb is starting a tea shop and expanding into other services to build a sustainable future for herself and her community.
Grateful for Life Center’s unwavering support, Azeb shares, “You have been a light in my darkest moments, treating me as a person of worth and potential. Life Center is not just an organization—it is a home and a source of endless blessings.” Azeb shares her journey of resilience and transformation with those around her, using her story to inspire hope and motivate others to overcome their challenges. Her testimony empowers others to believe in their own potential and take steps toward building a brighter future, fostering positive change within her community.
