OUR Impact
Mekedonia’s beneficiaries are homeless individuals gathered from various regions across the country, including Hawassa, Debre Zeit, Debre Libanos, Addis Ababa, and Guder. We take pride in being an Ethiopian charity with our headquarters in Addis Ababa. In addition to our main location, Mekedonia Homes has several branches in other regions of Ethiopia, including Harar, Gore, Dire Dawa, Adama, Gambella, Shashemene, Beke, and Adwa.
OUR SUCCESSES
Over the years, more than 400 elderly and mentally challenged residents have been successfully rehabilitated and have become productive members of the community at the Home. Many now work as security guards, caregivers, sanitation workers, drivers, hostesses, cashiers, tour guides, and in food preparation. Others have received training in various trades, including laboratory technicians, welders, cement workers, carpenters, and woodworkers. Additionally, some residents have learned skills such as weaving, sewing, tapestry and carpet making, broom and mop production, and even raising chickens. Others hold roles as supervisors, construction experts, and business administrators.
