Our Mission

Demonstrating Love Through Action

We demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ by ministering to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of those in distress. In a country where there is only 1 doctor per 40,000 people, our free clinic in Harar is a lifeline for hundreds of families every month.

Every nurse, every treatment, every well — it all starts with people who believe that compassion can change the world.

Wegayehu Ketema, Co-Founder

Our Founder's Story

From Pain to Purpose

Wegayehu Ketema grew up in a one-room house in Harar, Ethiopia, raised by her grandmother. As a child, a neighbor ruptured her eardrum — and she received no medical treatment for ten years.

That experience lit a fire in her heart. She vowed to become a nurse and one day return to build a free clinic for the people of her hometown — so no child would have to suffer as she did.

Today, Wegayehu is the co-founder of Siloam Ethiopia, and that dream clinic serves over 800 patients every single month.
