Program areas at Ordinary Hero Foundation

Sponsorships - partnering with different ministries in order to help find sponsors for children in need. Child sponsorships can literally change the world for that child. Children living in poverty situations in third world countries dream of going to school and becoming something great when they grow up. For many, it is only a dream, but for these children we can make it a reality.
The organization leads mission trips to ethiopia to bring aid, support, food, clothing and love to orphans and families struggling to provide for their children.
The organization provides the life center support for their ongoing operations. The life center typically provides lodging, transportation and meals to those on trips. These trips are used to provide aid and assistance to ngos and individuals that the organization supports in ethiopia.
Other program services include funding for supplies and other support for various ethiopian ngos.
