Cause Overview
Every child deserves a safe place to grow, learn, and dream. In Ethiopia’s capital city, tens of thousands of children live on the streets without access to food, shelter, or education. The Hall Steps Foundation is working to change that by providing housing, meals, mentorship, and job training that give children a real chance at a brighter future.

Our Approach
We have a plan that could change everything. Here’s how it works.
We start by collaborating with technology leaders to accelerate the shift towards renewable energy sources in major industries. Parallel to this, we invest in cutting-edge carbon capture and storage technologies that offer immediate reductions in greenhouse gases. Finally, we work closely with political figures and policymakers to ensure that these technological advances are supported by robust, effective environmental policies that can be implemented worldwide.
