Not many charities can claim this, but we promise you 96% of the money you donate<\/em>\u00a0wil<\/strong>l go directly to Soddo Christian Hospital in Ethiopia and our patients. \u00a0How do we do that? \u00a0Here are five ways:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. All of our\u00a0medical missionaries\u00a0are supported through partner mission sending agencies. \u00a0That means that they raise their own support, and the hospital does not pay them. \u00a0 So, none of your donated dollars will go to pay salaries of our expatriate staff.<\/li>\n
  2. Our US and Europe-based advocates are all volunteers. \u00a0All of our board members, and the people who do the work on the hospital from outside Ethiopia are not paid. \u00a0You can rest assured that your donation is going where it’s needed – not to pay our admins.<\/li>\n
  3. Of course we have costs as a non-profit. \u00a0Things that are unavoidable like postage for our newsletters or wire transfer fees to get the money to Ethiopia.<\/li>\n
  4. The hospital charges patients a very small fee. \u00a0(Except for the very poor – for them, see point #5). \u00a0 These patient fees go to pay for the electric bill and a lot of the day-to-day operations of the hospital. \u00a0So you aren’t contributing to the utilities. \u00a0So what are you giving to? \u00a0Well, that leads us to our last point…<\/li>\n
  5. The donations we receive go directly to pay for care for the poorest of the poor, and to help us build new wards, patient facilities, and equipment that we need to care for the patients. \u00a0<\/strong>We have a Benevolent Fund which pays for our poorest patients, and a significant portion of your donations go to that. \u00a0Another portion goes to provide equipment that the hospital needs like an ambulance, or a piece of lab equipment. \u00a0And lastly, some of the money goes to build more beds and more space for more patients.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Doesn’t it feel good to know that your money is going to the place where it’s most needed? \u00a0We think so – that’s why we do it this way. \u00a0You can give today and help us keep providing excellent care and proclaiming the Gospel in Ethiopia!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
