Since the first journey to Ethiopia, brothers Dr. Gabriel Hunt and Dr. Leonel Hunt have strengthened their commitment to assisting the people in the country by providing medical support, training, and education as a path to a happier, healthier future for the people of the region.
The Ethiopian Situation: New Challenges in the Region
Returning to the country brings new challenges to the forefront, particularly with civil war violence in the Tigray region, with millions of people displaced, injured, and suffering from food and shelter insecurity. The Bethel Medical College is the recipient of the Hunt Foundation’s efforts to advance the medical arts in the country, training new medical professionals to care for children and adults throughout the nation.
First established by Dr. Yigeremu Asfaw, the college delivers quality medical training. The Hunt Foundation’s efforts to support the college include building a library, expanding the hospital wing, and creating medical training pods where students learn modern medical techniques and processes. While the work continues, we are proud of what has been accomplished to date in equipping the facility, and we look forward to continuing our efforts with the help of our individual and corporate donors.
