Food For All
Outstanding Partner
Since 2014, EHE in Ethiopia has had a wonderful partnership with a Netherlands based non-profit organization named Food For All. Food For All is led by a wonderful couple named Hans and Franny Treurniet who have long standing connections in Ethiopia. They also have a very experienced and compassionate Board who oversee the organization.
Food For All was started in 2003 to begin working among the poorest of the poor in Ethiopia.
Starting in 2014, Food For All has been a wonderful partner in ensuring that 30 families in the Day Care and School are fully sponsored – thus providing them with holistic intervention in Jesus’ name. Food For All is also actively engaged in meeting with EHE Staff and dreaming of ways that the poorest of the poor can be assisted in the most practical of ways.
