About two years ago, our family was blessed through adoption. Our little girl, Grace, came home from Ethiopia. She is an amazing girl. What we didn't know until then, was how amazing her birth country was. We fell in love with Ethiopia. Our hearts were also touched by the overwhelming needs in Ethiopia. Many women and girls in places like Ethiopia have a very challenging lives. We saw first hand how many children (girls especially) do not have the opportunity to go to school. Many do not even have enough food to eat.
We believe that girls hold the key to the future of Ethiopia and many third world countries. Helping one girl, helps many in the long run. Our desire is to help sponsor as many young girls in Ethiopia as we can. We have some exciting ways that you can partner with The Sparkle Project to do just that!
Please take a minute to watch the following video. This video does an EXCELLENT job of explaining what we believe...
