Giving Chances to Those Who Need Them Most
Welcome,
Since 2007, the Institute for Global Outreach (IGO) has been committed to addressing the urgent needs of children and families living in extreme poverty, particularly in Ethiopia.
Our mission started with a simple but powerful belief: that no child should go hungry or lack access to education. Through partnerships with trusted local NGOs in Ethiopia, we provide essential support, such as nutritious meals, school supplies, housing support, and educational opportunities, to the most vulnerable communities.
We don’t just serve; we listen. We learn from those we serve so that our programs reflect real needs and create lasting impact.
Thanks to the generosity of people like you, IGO has helped transform the lives of thousands of students, children and families. But the need is still great. As you explore our work, we invite you to join us—whether by donating, sponsoring a child, or simply sharing our story. Together, we can break the cycle of poverty and bring hope where it's needed most.
The children you see here are thriving, but many are still waiting for their chance. Every day, around 20,000 children lose their lives to poverty-related causes.
Through IGO’s Sponsorship and Nurturing Program, Student Empowerment Initiative, and Pathways to Empowerment, we’re helping children, students, and families rise above hardship.
Every gift plants a seed of hope that grows into a future.

Our greatest joy comes from seeing the impact sponsorship has on each child’s journey.

Helps displaced families rebuild their lives through housing support, skills training, and renewed hope.

Starting with only 30 sponsored children, the Institute for Global Outreach (IGO) Foundation now supports over 1,000. Supporting our lifesaving work helps bring health and hope to vulnerable children and families in the neediest communities around the world.
