The Ethiopia RIPPLE Project was born out of a desire to support the nannies at the America World Transition Home, a safe and healing environment in Addis Ababa for orphans while they wait to be matched with their adoptive families. Each day these nannies give of themselves in ways that make a profound difference in the lives of the children under their care. Our nannies selflessly step into the gap and lovingly meet the needs of the children at the Transition Home as they often wait months and even years to be placed with their families. The nannies understand and fulfill the children’s longing to know someone is in their corner, supporting, loving and rooting for them. In turn, we want to do that for our nannies.

Just like a ripple effect, our wish is to give encouragement and assistance to these extraordinary nannies, and in doing so, it will be passed on to the children they love and care for every day. Ultimately, this love will be felt by the adoptive families and their communities. Will you consider coming alongside these nannies in support of their devotion to these children and help keep this ripple effect going?

You can make a difference by giving a one-time donation to go towards the educational training, medical needs, and enrichment activities of the nannies and staff of the America World Transition Home.
