Shone Gerbe CarePoint is located in the southern region of Ethiopia, approximately 75 miles from the capital city, Addis Ababa.
A number of families among the Shone community are small-scale farmers, utterly dependent on the weather and the amount of rainfall each year. The community is impacted by a lack of access to clean water which makes the community susceptible to disease. Parents and guardians of children at the CarePoint have started self-help savings groups as they work toward starting income-generating activities.
With the partnership of Wesley and Allison Hart Connect Community, the children at Shone Gerbe CarePoint have the opportunity to grow physically, spiritually, and emotionally while the Wesley and Allison Hart Connect Community also experiences positive transformation!
