In 1999, International Ethiopian Evangelical Church built the Joshua Academy in Debre Ziet, Ethiopia. The orphanage currently has 72 children ages 3 to 13, and provides the children with food, clothing, healthcare, and most importantly education. Having recently acquired additional property grounds for the orphanage, the church currently has plans to expand the orphanage to accept more children.
