DONATIONS TO AHOPE ARE THE PERFECT GIFT FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND FOR OTHER SPECIAL EVENTS

Are you looking for just the right gift that isn’t just “stuff” for a person who has everything and needs nothing, whose heart would be touched by reaching out to a child who has nothing and needs everything?

A DONATION TO AHOPE FOR CHILDREN:

For a minimum donation of $25.00 per person being honored, you can check off everyone on your holiday list, give the perfect birthday present, honor the happy new couple, rejoice in the arrival of a new child, extend congratulations on an anniversary, thank someone in a meaningful way, remember someone who is loved.

A SPONSORSHIP OF AN ORPHAN AT AHOPE ETHIOPIA:

For a minimum donation of $360.00, you may give a one-year sponsorship of a child at AHOPE Ethiopia.  You will need to provide the name and address of the person whom you are honoring as the sponsor will receive the updated reports on the child as well as newsletters about events that affect the children of AHOPE Ethiopia.

A SPECIAL COLOR CARD HAS BEEN CREATED TO ANNOUNCE YOUR GIFT:    Printed back and front on quality card stock, with envelope, the announcement features a photo of AHOPE children on one side.  On the reverse is space for a personal note and (of course) brief information about AHOPE for Children.

WHAT YOUR GIFT CAN PROVIDE (A very small part of our very long wish list):

• $50---a traditional Ethiopian costume and holiday gifts for one child
• $75—a classroom blackboard and chalk
• $100---outfit one child for school, including uniforms, shoes, back pack, school supplies and gym clothing

• $5,000—provides office supplies and rent for community development project offices for about 8 months.
• $15,000---pays the bills for the entire AHOPE program, both children’s homes and outreach, for about one month.  This amount is a good goal for a group or fundraiser.
