The mission of Adams Thermal Foundation is to alleviate the suffering of the most vulnerable by confronting all forms of human poverty in our community, our nation and our world. The “most vulnerable” often describes the plight of women and children and the forms of “human poverty” include physical, relational and spiritual poverty. Currently, Adams Thermal Foundation operates
two schools, grades K-12, for at-risk children in southwest Ethiopia. These schools also administer “Self-Help” programs so that women and mothers of students can learn business and job skills. Together, these programs seek to break the generational cycle-of-poverty and lift children, as well as their families, out of despair and hopelessness. Adams Thermal Foundation also confronts the plight of persecuted Christians in China through support for evangelical churches and pastors.
