The purpose of the society is to alleviate poverty by empowering the local people and communities in Ethiopia through the education of school aged children, provision of clean and safe water, and sustainable living, primary health and sanitation.

 The Society began its operation in 2003 with the distribution of educational materials and bibles to a very remote village (Yerah) in the Northern Ethiopia region.  Since then, several developments have taken place. 
The most significant development accomplished was the expansion of an existing elementary school to include Grade 7 and 8.  Desks for 120 children and numerous books and other school supplies were provided for 850 children.  In 2006 a team of four Canadian volunteers from the Lower Mainland visited the village with generous gifts of clothing, and school supplies.
