Through Dillon International's affiliation with Buckner we are now able to offer aid to children and families in Ethiopia. The assistance program in Ethiopia began in 2007 when Buckner officially formed its NGO while simultaneously merging with the Bright Hope Organization.
Programs available include: Care for
Children • Prevention and Rehabilitation of Street Children is a six-month training program offered to street youth in the Addis Ababa area. • Institutional Childcare Adoption Center is a temporary home for children waiting on a forever family. All the children have been abandoned and are eligible for adoption.
• A
baby home for children from infancy to 3 years of age.
Community Aid • Care and Support for people and families affected by HIV/AIDS • A Community Development Program involving 80 locals serving their community as a change/development facilitators and providing classes in social services, budgeting, economic development, micro-loans, health care and English. • Distribution of fruit and vegetable seeds, vitamins and food to over 300,000 farmers in the Oromia region. • Basic Skills Training for disadvantaged women • A Community Development Center in Bantu which includes a school with kindergarten through eighth grade, a church, a health center and a water well. This is the first of 20 centers that we plan to establish within the next 5 to 7 years. • Literacy program

Deniese and Jerry Dillon recently traveled to several orphanages in Ethiopia to learn more about the needs of the children and visit several programs. While there they delivered shoes to the children. These shoes will prevent the children from getting parasites that enter their body through the soles of their feet.
