Operation Rescue, a child care project, is a Non Governmental Organization (NGO); a non profit-making Christian-based charity.
We believe that no child should go hungry or face life alone. Our mission is to provide immediate relief to children in crisis through food, emergency assistance, medical care, and protection, while creating lasting pathways out of poverty. Since 2000, we have supported orphaned, street-connected, and extremely vulnerable children by strengthening their families whenever possible and providing holistic care through our day centres. Every child receives nutritious meals, education, healthcare, emotional support, and opportunities to learn, grow, and discover their potential. We are committed to helping children become confident, independent, and compassionate adults who can shape a brighter future for themselves and their communities.

FOUNDERS AND HISTORY
The first Centre of Operation Rescue
When the founding family first went to Ethiopia in 1997 to help poor children, they worked in a home for boys and were busy with their own two boys at home. The founders often did not agree with the concept of the childrens’ home and were confronted daily with the poverty of the street children who came begging at her window or whom she met at the garbage dump where they were searching for food.

SUPPORTING ASSOCIATIONS AND GROUPS
When Operation Rescue started to work in Ethiopia, Operation Rescue Switzerland registered to be able to give the finances for the building and for the daily project costs. With the growth of the project, visitors from other countries begun to form supporting groups in their region. Nowadays there are Operation Rescue associations or supporting groups existing in the following countries: Northern Ireland, England, USA, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland. Almost all the work in these countries is being done by volunteers.
