About HELP A LIFE FOUNDATION INC

Help A Life Foundation Inc (formed 2007) is a Los Angeles–based 501(c)(3) that supports a residential and educational program for orphaned adolescent girls in Debre Markos, Ethiopia. The organization operates a group home model (Project Blue) that places girls into four years of high school followed by continued support through university when appropriate.

The charity reports steady recent activity and is actively operating its group home: the organization’s public materials and recent filings show the program currently houses dozens of girls and documents a pipeline of graduates who have gone on to college and professional training. Financial filings over the last few years show modest annual revenues consistent with a small, program-focused international relief charity.
