Melkam Genna – Merry Christmas
We are shamelessly extending the Christmas season this year as it is finally also time in Ethiopia to wish all our friends and supporters a very Merry Christmas!
Thank you Moira!

Happy New Year 2020
The last twelve months have been amazing for us. We have continued to achieve fantastic results and our students are thriving in high school at the hostel, at university in Ethiopia and abroad, as well as in their post-education lives.

From the moment my friend Greg and I arrived at the Bole airport in Addis Ababa,...

Frehiwot was lucky enough that her grandmother took her under her wings when she was 10 years old. She brought her to Addis Ababa which is where we met Frehiwot when...
