Our scholarship programme ensures that education is not simply a privilege of the wealthy but a right for all children. It also ensures that particularly bright children continue on to secondary education and university. We now have 100 top students at private schools across Addis Ababa, 50 university students across Ethiopia and internationally, as well as 22 students in vocational colleges to get a degree in nursing and many other vocational areas. (We have 92 girls and 8 boys in the scholarship fund.)
One of our scholarship students has won the prize of “most academically successful student in Addis Ababa”. |

2017In 2017 we are channelling 150 of our primary school students into our new schools, so they can receive an even better education and we can streamline our scholarship fund. We will concentrate on taking only higher education students into this programme in the future in order to get more children into universities and straight into well paid jobs. This programme creates the future leaders of tomorrow and we will scale this programme to get more students into higher education. |
