What is Korah?

Korah means cursed. Korah is the community in and surrounding the city dump of Addis Ababa Ethiopia. It is approximately 130,000 people, who are the least of the least in Addis—it used to be a leper colony and there are still folks living there with leprosy. They are a community shunned by the people in Addis and considered forgotten. Now these people scavenge through the dump, looking for metal and items of value.

I think Jody describes this best here

I want to ask you help in sponsoring one of these children that live here.
What does sponsorship mean?

The sponsorship, which is $700 per year, covers everything for a child: for the rest of the summer, they go to the summer camp where they get one decent meal a day, and then in September they will go to Shashameni, the boarding school, which is 3 hours away. They will have covered: room, board (3 meals a day), books, tuition, hygiene needs, uniform, and transportation to and from school when needed during breaks. They have room for 200 at this school and have 130 sponsored already.

So please help me collect the $700.00 to rescue a child. I will throw in the first $100.00 to start..

Donations Closed.. Goal reached!!
