July Ethiopia Referrals

The Ethiopia program is excited to announce that 4 referrals
were matched with families in the month of July! 

Below is a list of the children referred d this month and
the DTE dates of the families with whom they were matched. Please keep in mind some of these referrals
may be sibling sets or children with special needs.

Please keep the following in mind when reviewing the
chart above:

• Infant age range: Approximately 0-18 months
• Toddler age range: Approximately 19-47 months

We’re grateful for God’s blessing of these referrals and for
your continued prayers over the Ethiopia program.

Due to recent trends, the wait time for healthy female and
male children roughly 5-6 years of age and younger is at minimum 24-30 months
from DTE. While all families are
currently receiving referrals within this timeframe, the overall trend is that
the wait time is increasing.  Therefore,
we anticipate the wait time will increase past 30 months at some point in the
future. We do not yet know when that
increase will come. Families in our
Ethiopia program will be kept up to date on any changes to the wait time by
their Family Coordinator.
