Donate now and help restore a rural health center

The Jara & Jiru Foundation in partnership with the Haro Hunte local government and community is raising funds to rebuild the Haro Hunte Health Center in Oromia, Ethiopia, crucial for over 25,000 people. The center was severely damaged, leaving the community without essential healthcare.

Mission

We empower communities in Oromia to build sustainable futures through education, health, and economic development

Many communities in Oromia, especially those in rural areas lack basic needs that help improve one’s quality of life. The Jara & Jiru Foundation’s mission is to remove these barriers and invest in the lives of youth and families by providing a supportive environment and resources they need to reach their potential. 

We partner with various organizations and individuals who share our vision to ensure that we can reach more communities and families across Oromia.

Furtu Fayaa Project: A Mission Accomplished!

On August 7th, 2024 we successfully delivered our first two 40-foot containers filled with essential medical equipment and supplies to Dodola General Hospital, Ganata Health Center, Adaba General Health Center, and Haro Hunte.

Two 40-foot containers embarked on a journey from the port of Djibouti to reach the communities of Dodola and Adaba, overcoming numerous logistical challenges along the way. On the sides of these containers is a banner proudly displaying the names of our generous donors. This remarkable effort not only signifies a successful delivery but also highlights the incredible support behind this mission to enhance healthcare access for those in need.

Under the leadership of JJF Director Rufo Jiru, dedicated volunteer teams played a pivotal role in turning the delivery of the containers into a joyous celebration. Their efforts brought the entire community together, creating an atmosphere of unity and gratitude as they gathered to celebrate this milestone and offer blessings for the future. The spirit of collaboration and enthusiasm among volunteers truly enriched this moment, highlighting the strength that comes from working hand-in-hand for a common cause.

As Rufo and the volunteers opened the container for the first time, a wave of excitement swept through the crowd, filled with cheers and applause. This moment was not just about unveiling medical equipment; it was a celebration of dedication and hard work paying off. Rufo’s unwavering commitment to this project shone brightly as she shared this joyful experience with everyone present. Together, they embraced the hope that these resources would bring better healthcare to their community.

At the welcome ceremony, Rufo and and Jo Sullivan stood together, surrounded by the vibrant community dressed in their beautiful traditional attire. This heartfelt gathering symbolized unity and hope, showcasing the strength of collaboration as they all came together to celebrate a shared vision for better healthcare. It was a powerful reminder that when we join forces and honor our diverse cultures, we can create lasting change and uplift entire communities.
