Wegene Ethiopian Foundation(WEF)

Wegene Ethiopian Foundation(WEF) is a philanthropic organization engaged in helping disadvantages in Ethiopia. WEF operates as an independent non-profit and non-governmental organization. There are no ties to any political, religious, or secular non-profit or for-profit organizations. WEF is not financially accountable to any other organization.

At the present time, member donations and innovative fundraising efforts raise money to fund all of the efforts of WEF.

Donated money from the United States is sent to volunteer caretakers in Ethiopia. WEF does not utilize any part of the donated money for overhead. The volunteer caretakers supply monthly food, cooking supplies, clothing, shelter, rent, school supplies, and medical care for selected families.

"Rebuilding families one child at a time!"

Mission Statement

WEF aims to provide positive change to extremely disadvantaged children residing in Ethiopia. WEF aim to foster goodwill and hope among poor Ethiopian families. Our grass root campaign is an attempt to challenge every Ethiopian residing in the United States to help those that are less fortunate in Ethiopia. WEF strives to forge a long-lasting partnership between those less fortunate children in Ethiopia and Ethiopians that reside in the United States. WEF's main focus is to improve the everyday lives of less fortunate children and their families in Ethiopia.
