Mission
The fundamental mission of the foundation is to prevent suicide by addressing key factors that make individuals susceptible to such outcomes. Our efforts extend to members of the Ethiopian community across the United States. The foundation works to model and transfer the core values of academic excellence, sportsmanship, community service, leadership and positive social relationships through a variety of programs designed to engage youth and adults to prevent suicidal risk factors.
What We Do
The Haddis Girma Continuity Foundation is committed to the well being of youth, families and adults alike. Our core mission is to work with you to shape a supportive community where mutual responsibility, cultural and generational connectedness, and emotional and academic support act as preventative measures against risk factors that lead to depression and suicide. We hope that you will use this website to: become more informed about the HGCF, seek resources and information that facilitate a well-balanced lifestyle, and to learn about upcoming events and public services. Ultimately, we must take mutual responsibility for each other and hold ourselves accountable for the achievements and needs of current and future generations.
