Directions

FHSU Ethiopia Reads - "Change for Literacy" We are working to raise awareness of the illiteracy problem in Ethiopia and to help provide Ethiopian children with the opportunity to have an education.

Ethiopia Reads is an international non-profit organization that has focused its efforts on providing better education and literacy for the youth of Ethiopia. Only 42% of the adult population and 44.6% of the Ethiopian youth are literate. This ranks them as 195th in the world in adult literacy. Ethiopia Reads has placed over 65 libraries throughout Ethiopia and they collect donated children’s books that they ship to Ethiopia in order to fill these libraries. Their latest efforts have focused on training librarians and teachers how to be successful and to promote sustainability for the libraries. Without Ethiopia Reads, the Ethiopian people would not have the resources needed to continue this training and therefore, the literacy program would likely begin to decline.
