2024 Debo Alliance Orphan Summit

From May 14-16, 2024, over 400 pastors and church leaders gathered to explore the importance of adoption and how to foster a culture of adoption within their communities. The summit was a key platform for sharing strategies, experiences, and insights on orphan care.

According to recent estimates, over 5 million children in Ethiopia have lost one or both parents, and approximately 13% of the country’s children are orphans. Support is needed for vulnerable children in Ethiopia. The summit addressed this by offering biblical foundations and practical steps for churches to support adoption and orphan care. Attendees left equipped with tools to make a lasting impact.

IEC is proud to partner with the Debo Alliance. Our sending agency, Orphanos, was a key sponsor of this year’s Orphan Summit. We look forward to seeing how the summit’s lessons will change lives and communities in the years to come.
