Hope for Children Organization Ethiopia (HFCOE) is an indigenous, local Ethiopian Resident Charity, established in November 2000 with the key objectives of sustainable and comprehensive community based care and support for HIV/AIDS affected families and children. It was established in response to the staggering HIV/AIDS pandemic and its related problems. The impact of HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia was increasing in all directions. The organization began with eight orphaned children and has been growing in quantity of the children and families assisted as well as the diversity of services thematically and geographically.
