Inspired by God’s heart to give, each Advent at Lambrick we commit to give together to a need or opportunity related to one of our missional partners (locally or globally).
This year, we want to give our Advent Offering to support FH Ethiopia (Food for the Hungry Ethiopia) as they pioneer holistic community development work in a new region – Leka Dulecha!
Our goal is to raise $11,500 to fund a series of co-creation sessions with community leaders – where they will work together to assess the current realities of each community (in regard to education, health and agricultural practices), and to identity priorities for intervention and change.
For instance, due to economic challenges, 81% of kids drop out of school after primary grades to help take small jobs to keep their families afloat (and the stats are highest among girls). FH and our support can help the community change this.
Similarly, only 38% of people have access to clean water within a 30min walk, which leads many to access unhealthy water to feed their families. FH and our support can help the community change this.
Over two decades of partnership with Food for the Hungry and their work in poverty-stricken areas of Ethiopia, we have been honored to watch children, families and communities experience life-giving transformation and empowerment.
We are excited to be a part of it yet again.
Our Advent Offering will help this project begin well.
