Good Shepherd Orphanage
The idea of setting up the Good Shepherd Orphanage was to cater for the needs of the helpless and disadvantaged children as far back as 1987 by the founder and father of the home, Bishop Kwaku Addei, when he was called and ordained as a servant of God.
He started translating this idea unto reality by acting as a foster father for needy children.
Consequently the orphanage was established with at least ten orphans in the year 2002. In 2003 the number increased to thirty, but now the Home has a child population of over fifty and got registered as an organisation limited by guarantee with registration number G13012 and Certificate of Recognition No. DSW/2133.
The orphanage has seven member Board of Directors, a matron, two mothers, five teachers and seven attendants.
It has a serene environment with modest accommodation fo the children.
The long term goal for the board of the Good Shepherd Orphanage to establish a Basic School, to cater for the children in and outside the Home, came to reality and on August 8th 2004 the school was officially opened.

The Kindu Trust
On St Valentine's Day 1998, whilst in Gondar, a city of well over 180,000 people in northern Ethiopia, Kate Fereday Eshete met a young orphan boy called Kindu. He was barefoot and wore ragged trousers. Thin, hungry, caked in dirt and crawling with flies and lice, he spent his days begging on the city's streets or searching for scraps of food in hotel dustbins.
Kate fed Kindu and his friends from the street, some as young as 3 years old. Knowing that she would be leaving Gondar soon, she visited the local social affairs department to find out what was being done to help the street children. Under-resourced and over-whelmed by the scale of the problem, the social workers welcomed Kate's interest but were unable to offer a solution without funding.
Determined to help Kindu and children like him in Gondar and elsewhere in Ethiopia, Kate founded The Kindu Trust in England in March 1998. She named the new charity after 7-year-old Kindu because it was her encounter with him that inspired her to take action.

Although we partner with more than 30 other ministries and outreaches, our primary focus is the operation of our children's orphanage and school in a small village named Kamashi, Ethiopia. The Kamashi Orphanage and School is a 500-bed facility; complete with a full school, team housing, and administration buildings.
Founded in 2001 to work with orphans and other impoverished children, our passion is ministering to the physical, mental, social, and spiritual needs of children.

An SOS Social Centre was established in the town of Benguela on the west coast in 2001 and its community aid programmes support the local community. The SOS Children’s Village here is home to children many of whom are war orphans.
Since 2005, emergency relief programmes in Lubango and Benguela were gradually changed into family strengthening programmes – aiming to prevent children from being abandoned and to strengthen their families' ability to care for them.
