Our Story

According to UNICEF, “...when children get an education, despite circumstances, whole societies benefit. Education can boost economic growth, reduce poverty and inequality. Education also contributes to restoring peace and stability.” Children in rural areas often struggle to have access to schools. When they do, classrooms can often be old, badly built, or insufficient in number – leaving children without an appropriate place to learn and play. Limited access to clean water and hygienic toilets also put children and teachers at risk of dangerous but preventable diseases. I invite you to be part of this exciting initiative, the Abdii Project, Abdii means “Hope” in Afaan Oromo, one of the major languages spoken in Ethiopia. We have already secured land and have completed the design phase. With your help, we hope to break ground August 2019. Please join us in making "Abdii Elementary Scholastic Academy" a reality. Any donation will make a big impact for our Abdii Scholar with a state of the art STEM focused elementary school and scholarship. Your generous donation of any amount is tax deductible. We have chosen to support education because it is an investment that does not stop at one individual. Education has been called the “Ripple Effect” because it is a gift that is shared from one child to another, from a child to parents and from one village to the next.
