About Us

In January 2010, we traveled to Ethiopia to bring our beautiful daughter, Kidist home. While in Ethiopia, we were blessed to stay at the home of Nesibu and Birtukan; the founders of Yezelalem Minch. Birtukan, a world vison sponsored child herself, was the visionary for this ministry. It began with her taking in orphan children on the streets before she was even married! Yezelalem Minch is Amharic for 'never ending spring', taken from the verse found in Isaiah 58:10-11; If you spend yourselves on behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed...The Lord will guide you always; you will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. After arriving home our hearts continued to be burdened for the children of Ethiopia. We wanted to somehow help the children who are helpless. From Shine Windowcare http://www.shineinfo.com the idea for Shine in Africa began! We are excited to be able to help these children financially through Shine Inc. and to be an advocate for these children by sharing with our current Shine clients and others! Shine in Africa exists to 1. educate on the great need of the orphans in our world today 2. connect you to organizations and ways to help 3. provide financial assistance to organizations caring for orphans. Follow our blog to keep up to date on the ways we will be doing each of these things!
