Year-End Giving 2026

Thank you for walking with us.
Choose where your gift goes next.

Our leadership team has named three life-changing projects for 2027. Rather than send several appeals, we are inviting you to direct your year-end gift to the one that speaks most to your heart.

A note from our founder

Our hearts are full of gratitude for you.

Because of your faithful support, families across Ethiopia have experienced tangible hope. Children are thriving in classrooms, young adults are attending universities and launching careers, widows are starting their own self-sustaining businesses, and communities are discovering that they are never forgotten.

You have walked with Life Center Ethiopia through every chapter. As we look toward 2027, we are excited about what comes next, and we want you to help decide where your gift makes its mark.

Clean Water & Sustainable Farming

In Sekota, an often drought-stricken region, safe water is a daily struggle. Mothers and young children spend hours carrying heavy jerry cans across rugged terrain, time that should be spent learning or earning a living.

Through our Sekota Community Water Development Project, we are building two hand-dug wells and two protected springs to serve 950 households, more than 4,500 men, women, and children.

  • Clean water for drinking, cooking, hygiene, and sanitation
  • Protection for the livestock families rely on
  • Irrigation for our widows’ farming project, so widowed mothers can grow food and support their households

Project 02 $25,000 goal

Sewing Cooperative

For 13 years, Eyuel grew up in our sponsorship program. Today he is 21 and works as a master tailor alongside seven women artisans in our garment department.

The team recently delivered an order of 350 school uniforms. Now they have hit maximum capacity. They need more sewing machines and materials, and 10 young adults are waiting to be trained and hired.

$25,000 graduates this department into a standalone cooperative. This one-time launch capital funds 10 commercial electric machines, bulk fabric, and 6-month trainee stipends to create dignified, lifelong careers.
