OUR TEAM
LEEANNE REEVES
Director
Having been supporting Ethiopiaus since June 2016, I was approached to take over as Director in January 2017 when the privately funded orphanage faced closure. My involvement is a way for me to continue to maintain a connection with our daughters’ birth country and culture, and provide a safe, nurturing and loving home-like environment and education opportunities for the many children in our care who would otherwise be in a very different situation.
GAYLENE COOPER
Fundraising Coordinator
When I first visited Ethiopiaus several years ago, I discovered some children who I had met many years ago at a different orphanage. These children had been moved as the orphanage had closed down, they were placed in a government orphanage which would have been quite traumatic for them. Fortunately, they were then assigned to Ethiopiaus and are now living in what is as close to a family home as they will ever have. Meeting these children again has given me a purpose in life which is to ensure they are well educated and are living in a loving environment and I hope my support can give them a future.
ORPHANAGE EMPLOYEES
Ethiopiaus employs a full time Social Worker and Nurse, 8 Nannies responsible for the direct care of the children, 2 Cooks, 2 Cleaners, 3 Security Guards and a part-time Accountant.
Our valued staff have embraced the positive changes implemented at Ethiopiaus in 2017, and all team members play an important role in upholding the high standards we are proud to adhere to.
