The Hunt Foundation Journey Begins

Doctors Gabriel and Leonel Hunt, along with an expert medical team, embarked on a mission to Gabon, Africa, in 2010. The mission delivered essential surgeries, training, resources, and knowledge to a group of local doctors, empowering them to provide superior care.

Mission to Ethiopia

In January 2013, the Hunt Foundation made a reconnaissance trip to Ethiopia, returning with a resolve to make a difference. They collaborated with Dr. Yigeremu Asfaw, the founder of Bethel Hospital, Bethel Medical College, and Bethel Children’s Village. Their efforts were not just limited to supplying medical equipment and upgrading facilities; they also dedicated themselves to mentoring local physicians and providing continuous educational aid to enhance patient care standards. Following Dr. Yigeremu’s passing in November 2018, the Hunts, alongside Dr. Tesfaye Mulat, are committed to continuing Dr. Asfaw’s legacy of service.
