YeNoh Merkeb exists to improve the physical, educational, and economical health of people living in deep poverty, HIV/AIDS patients, and women prone to commercial sex work in Ethiopia, starting with Cherkos in Addis Ababa, and Sendafa in Oromia. The hope is to eventually extend that same compassion and generosity to more villages, ultimately elevating the quality of life in Ethiopia.
