What is MADIE all about?

Empowering Families:

This ministry exists to assist Ethiopian families by providing opportunities for spiritual growth, increasing the availability of education, and meeting basic nutritional needs. Our goal is to help foster education in the young and old alike that they may have the ability to lift themselves from dire poverty, be empowered to meet their basic needs and continue the cycle of blessing in their community.
