Throwback to our fundraiser a couple of weeks back. Thank you to all who came, painted, danced and joined together for a good cause. Thanks to your support, we raised over $2,500 for the kids in Afar! This money will go towards keeping our computer labs running, supporting girls to stay in school, and giving children a brighter future 🙌🏾💛

See you this Thursday, July 23rd for our next fundraiser for primary and secondary schools in Afar, Ethiopia!

We are innovating for this one: we will be hosting a Paint and Sip where you will be creating your own Ethiopian-inspired art work under the guidance of a professional artist from our community natnael ናቲ , followed by a live DJ night with TEF accompanied by food, dancing, mingling, games and a silent auction all for a GOOD CAUSE. 🎨☕️💃🏾

Berhanu from Berhanu T. Michael said he’ll be there. What about you?! 🙌🏾

Growth starts with a shared vision. Yesterday, we sat down with new and familiar faces to talk about where Project Initiative Ethiopia began and—more importantly—where we are going. Every child’s education is a stepping stone to a brighter future, and we’re just getting started. 💻📚✨
