"The more we support health care in Ethiopia, the more we help
to keep families together."
The World Family Ethiopian Orphans and Medical Care is a humanitarian
organization founded in July 2003. It is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization
with no political, religious or ethnic affiliations.
NOTE: We changed our name from Ethiopian Orphans of Aids Foundation(EOAF) to
The World Family Ethiopian Orphans and Medical Care. We feel that the new name
better defines our mission.
