ABOUT ARUKAH GLOBAL
Arukah Global has its roots in Silicon Valley, California and Adama(also known as Nazret), Ethiopia.
We exist to be a catalyst for restoration through relationship in communities struggling with the devastating effects of poverty.
We believe most communities have in their midst, the existing people and resources that are necessary to make effective change. Those people and resources simply need to be connected, and at times, supported. Arukah Global is that point of connection...or the catalyst...for relationships that lead to restoration.
Relationships in Nazret began in 2011 when I first visited the city on a exploratory trip with leaders and friends from South Bay Church in the heart of Silicon Valley, CA and Compassion International - two very highly impactful and well led organizations. After co-leading and leading teams to Ethiopia over the next several years, it became clear that my scope of my involvement in Nazret was to be much broader than what could be done during an annual 10 day serving trip with any single church or nonprofit.
Today, Arukah Global works alongside various Ethiopia-based partners in various locations within the country.
Though we will regularly bring teams to serve in-country, our vision is much greater than simply providing teams and funds. We desire not only to develop partnerships and provide resources, but do the risky and sometimes painful work of investing our hearts - knowing there will be challenges and disappointments along the way. We admire the tough and tender we see in the people of Ethiopia, and have truly come to love our partners and those they serve. Our hope and prayer is that over the years, relationships will continue to grow in number and depth…and we will have the privilege of watching hope make its mark in this wonderful country.
Arukah Global has a world-class Board of Directors/Advisors who have hearts for serving globally and years of experience and knowledge in both non-profit and corporate organizations.

OUR NAME
Arukah is an ancient Hebrew word. It means, “restoring to soundness; wholeness (literally or figuratively) – healing, perfected”.
It includes the “whole person”...physical, mind, spiritual, and life overall.
“Arukah” is not only an ongoing process, but something being done to us by a benevolent God. (see Jeremiah 33:6)
