It’s all began in 2007 with three boys that were living on the street moved-in to the private residence of Wro. Aynalem Weldeamanuel, the founding mother of Beteseb Charity Association.

Thereafter, with the help of family members and friends as well as people that support Aynalem’s vision, the initiative gradually grew, year by year adding more unfortunate children that were in desperate need of basic living support in the City of Hawassa, Sidama Region, Ethiopia.

At the moment Beteseb is a full-fledged local NGO officially registered with the federal Civil Society Organizations Authority (Reg.No 6101) and engaged in various humanitarian works that are aimed at elevating the life standards of orphaned children and vulnerable elderly individuals living in impoverished conditions.

In the past eighteen years Beteseb has managed to transform the life of more than 100 vulnerable and orphaned children that were exposed to street life due to absence of their parents and lack of any family members to support them.  

All essential amenities and support are provided within a peaceful and family-like living environment with the aim of creating a suitable platform for nurturing children to become physically, mentally and economically productive members of society.
