Educate Ethiopia

A child's first step out of poverty is through education

WELCOME

Educate Ethiopia is dedicated to keeping 21 Catholic schools located in the North of Ethiopia (Tigray)open for the 6000 children that these schools have been serving for over 100 years. The schools are open to all Religions and Faiths (Christian and Muslim).

We need the help of people and the power of money to keep these schools open. We are encouraging schools across the world to pair up with one of the schools in Ethiopia. In other words, one “wealthy” school in the west supports one school in Ethiopia. (learn more)

Individuals, groups, clubs, businesses, churches, a single class, a confirmation class can sponsor a school. (learn more)

To be responsible for educating an entire school for a year is a pretty wonderful thing to do.
