ABOUT OUR LEADER:

My name is Angie Reed.  I live in Indianola, Iowa with my husband, Kyle, and two boys, Deikan and Gavin.  I have been a Social Worker for over 15 years in various areas of Child Welfare.  I am currently the Director of Social Services in Iowa for America World Adoption and love it.  I enjoy watching families through their adoption journey.  I believe that God has called me to my role in the adoption process and most recently to service in Ethiopia.  It has been an indescribable refining process for myself and an incredible joy to love on orphans and to be a voice for one.

ETHIOPIA:

With a population of over 91 million people, there is a diverse collection of food, languages, customs and people groups in Ethiopia. The country also contains a unique landscape, including parts of the Nile River and the Great Rift Valley. As an East African landlocked country, Ethiopia is bordered by Somalia, Kenya, Sudan, Eritrea, and Djibouti.

Ethiopia, an ancient Christian nation, has deep-rooted Ethiopian Orthodox customs and practices. The Judaic-Christian roots of Ethiopia can be found in both the Hebrew and Christian scriptures. Today, about half the population of Ethiopia is Christian.

Ethiopia is a country that is about twice the size of Texas has an estimated 4.3 million orphans. The children are primarily orphaned due to poverty, and live in both government-run and privately established orphanages. The need is great in Ethiopia, especially in light of the recent termination of international adoption.

Our One Orphan teams partner with many orphanages in Ethiopia. It is at these orphanages that the One Orphan teams visit and work to help provide education, resources, and support for the ongoing care provided by the orphanage staff.
