To help needy children in Ethiopia and outside of Ethiopia, a ministry called Galilee Aid Ministry has been established in Milwaukee WI USA. This idea was proposed by the family member of Medhanialem Church in Milwaukee, WI, who has passion and responsibility to help others according to the Word of God Mathew 25: 35-45. This passion and command of God will help to run the Ministry efficiently and appropriately.

Even though this Ministry's aid program is primarily launched for the City of Ginchi , the Ministry will have plans to expand the program in Ethiopia and other countries as conditions become favorable and affordable.

The Ministry shall form a committee that will run the aid program in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in close cooperation with Churches, with directives given by its head office in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA

For the activities or events to be undertaken in the United States and elsewhere, the Ministry shall have a Board, with a wide range of authority and responsibility. The board shall have five elected members, from whom, the chairman of the board, the secretary and the treasurer in addition two other members will be elected by the Board to serve as advisors.

VISION

To give basic assistance for needy children to enable them to pursue education and learn the Word of God.

STRATEGY

Income of the Ministry to run its aid program comes from interested individuals, organizations and churches as well as from fund-raising events.

These children should not always be dependent on aid. It is necessary their parents or guardians should participate in self-help programs that the Ministry provides to help themselves and their children.

MISSION

Is to provide needy children with food, clothing and school supplies; to give them opportunity to get education while they are living with their parents or guardians.
