You Asked, Ethiopia’s Country Director Answered

In August, we asked what questions YOU had for Children’s HopeChest’s Ethiopia Country Director, Milkias “Mickey” Taye. Ethiopia partners had some awesome questions, including “What is the current state of Ethiopia’s COVID-19 response?” and “How has the conflict in Tigray affected the country in general and the CarePoints?”

In this month’s episode of “Build Relationships. Break Poverty,” you asked, and Mickey answered. We are featuring questions from HopeChest Friends, community members, and HopeChest program participants. Wil Crooks, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships reads your intriguing questions in this unique episode.

“Being part of Children’s HopeChest Ethiopia gives me a great opportunity to impact the lives of orphaned children positively throughout the nation. Working with children, emphasizing on orphaned and vulnerable children, provides a bright future for the supported children in particular and for the nation of Ethiopia at large.” -Mickey Taye
