Eyob Hope for Children and Youth Inc. (EHCY)
EHCY is a non-profit charitable organization that has been established in Eyob’s memory to give hope and support to impoverished children and youth: by providing heart-related educational and medical assistance, assisting in education, and nutrition, and by setting up facilities and equipment for physical fitness.
EHCY intends to educate and provide awareness to parents, children, and youth about cardiomyopathy (abnormal thickening of the heart muscle.)
EHCY will assist children who have heart-related medical conditions and work with hospitals and organizations that provide treatment and medication.
The organization will also help those who are not fortunate enough to have the basic needs for their education through scholarships and direct grants. Scholarships will be administered through a fund in Eyob’s name.
EHCY plans to provide nutritional support to those children and youth who cannot afford to have adequate meals or drinking water.
EHCY plans to work with schools in low-income areas to facilitate physical fitness facilities, and equipment, and provide sporting goods.
These activities will take place here in the United States and in developing countries.
