Who We Are
at our core
Who is Ethiopia ACT?
We are a multi-cultural team actively loving and caring for the most neglected of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. We work to design and implement innovative and high-impact strategies that lead to measurable improvements in health, income and relationships.
Why We Exist
Ethiopia ACT began in 2002 as a project under SIM Ethiopia to reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS on extremely poor families. At the peak of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, before treatment became available, few organizations cared for those sick and dying of the disease. ACT started to meet this need, but has grown to include other public health strategies that serve the wider community, as well as educational and psychological support.
Core Values
Compassion & Generosity
We respond generously, and with compassion, because of God’s love and generosity to us.
Impact
All our activities are high impact and measurable. We collect baseline, quantitative data and then measure our progress and change as needed.
Respect
We treat the people we serve with love and respect. We don’t exploit them or portray them as helpless victims needing rescue.
Meet the team
on the ground
We have an amazing team that works tirelessly for the project, regularly visiting each of our beneficiary families, ensuring every person is treated with the respect of someone created in God's image.
Meet the people who make it all possible.
