"For I was hungry
and you gave Me food;
I was thirsty and
you gave Me drink;
I was a stranger
and you took Me in."


Matthew 25:35


 
The Gobezie-Goshu Home is a ministry to help the abandoned and destitute elderly, the disabled, and the children of Adwa, Ethiopia. GGHE is a Christian 501(c)3 nonprofit founded by Tsige-Roman Gobezie and based in Santa Maria, California.

What began as one person's dream to be able to feed and provide shelter for a few destitute elderly in 2003 has now grown into a ministry that provides for nearly 60 formerly destitute and homeless residents.  In 2005 the main residence was completed and can house up to 60 adults.  A school started with about 20 village children and has now grown to over 460 children in an attempt to provide formal education for them and break the cycle to poverty in the community. The ministry continues to grow each year. The vision is to create a self-sustaining community that provides food, shelter and basic necessities, however, at the present time your generous gifts are what support this humanitarian effort.  Unlike many charitable organizations, the GGHE has no administrative costs.  That means that 100% of your donation goes to helping these wonderful people.
