Bridge to Israel was founded in 1984 by Timotheus and Magdalena Augstburger who have dedicated their lives to serving the poor and needy. In the past 21 years, the Augstburgers have worked in the West Bank in Israel, Lebanon, Armenia, Georgia, and Ukraine. They came to Ethiopia in 1999 and partnered with Ato Demmelash Aysheshim, an Ethiopian experienced in managerial know-how. Together, they devoted their time, energy and money into establishing Morning Star Children's Village in 2001, with the dream of bringing help, hope and blessings to many hopeless and impoverished children in Ethiopia where poverty, malnutrition and HIV/AIDs are common.
Bridge to Hope vision is to do our part in the fight against poverty, HIV/AIDs and illiteracy by specifically targeting the most vulnerable members of the society children. We strive to raise children who will become healthy, responsible and productive citizens.
Bridge to Hope mission is to develop sustainable, integrated programs targeting Orphan and Vulnerable Children as well as critical community issues, particularly interventions on HIV/AIDS.
