Friends of Fresh and Green Academy

Friends of Fresh and Green Academy Friends of Fresh and Green Academy The Story: Fresh and Green Academy is located in Addis
Ababa, Ethiopia. Without this funding, the school would
close.

The school was originally founded by local teacher Muday Mitiku, as a private, for-profit kindergarten in the Kotebe area of Addis. In Ethiopia, education is free, but no food is
provided to the students. The poorest children spend their days begging rather than going to school. There were so
many children begging near Fresh and Green Academy, Muday began to allow them to attend for free. The pare

nts of
the paying children objected and removed their children from the school. The Academy was in danger of closing when flight attendant Trish Hack-Rubinstein and a group of her
colleagues visited the school on a volunteer trip. Inspired by Mitiku's vision, they returned to the United States and
founded Friends of Fresh and Green Academy, Inc. Today, the organization fully funds Fresh and Green Academy, and
makes several volunteer visits to the school per year. Education and Support: Friends of Fresh and Green Academy, Inc. is making a positive impact on one of Addis
Ababa's poorest communities through the shared vision of Mitiku and Hack-Rubinstein. The school is unique in that it
offers its 150 students three nutritious meals per day, clean water, clothing, medical and chiropractic care, and a free
education. Besides the basic government sanctioned courses, the curriculum has been expanded to include art, music
and physical education. Friends of Fresh and Green Academy, Inc. also supports a Mothers Cooperative, involving 70 of the students' mothers. They help out at the school and create goods that are sold and earn an income to help support their families. Hope for the Future: Friends of Fresh and Green is working to raise enough funds to build a school that can
accommodate these students through the twelfth grade, which would include a boarding facility. They would also like
to establish a scholarship fund for higher education. Friends of Fresh and Green Academy's vision is to instill a spirit
of giving and compassion in the poorest of children with nourishment, an education and hope for their own future. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, fully dependent on donations. We
operate a student sponsorship program through our website, www.FriendsOfFreshAndGreen.org. Through organized fundraisers and private donations, we are able to give hope to some of the neediest children in Ethiopia.
