B Loved is a community for orphaned children in the city of Wolaita Sodo, Ethiopia. The children are cared for 24/7 by the loving staff of B Loved, which is sustained by the Help One Now Child Sponsorship Program.
B Loved is a community for double orphans. The children live in long-term group apartments, with a loving house mother and a house aunt in each. These apartments are located in a complex in the heart of the Wolaita Sodo community, giving the children access to mentors and friends within their neighborhood. B Loved employs a director, 2 social workers, and a full-time nurse, along with the house moms, to ensure that every child is receiving both the physical and emotional care that they need.
These orphans are part of the Help One Now sponsorship program, which supports both the individual children and the B Loved program as a whole. Each child is sponsored 5 times, ensuring that their needs of clothing, food, education, and shelter are met. Furthermore, this allows B Loved to have the resources to make sure all the children are being adequately provided for as well.
B Loved, which has has been honored by the Ethiopian government for its effectiveness in changing the lives of local children, is part of Help One Now local leader Aschalew Abebe's three-fold approach to the orphan crisis, along with family empowerment and domestic adoption.
