Grassroots
charitible trust,
The Tesfa Foundation
provides free education in Ethiopia for
4-6 year olds living in extreme poverty.
Tesfa
provides an early education for these children to help lift them
from the trappings of extreme poverty. Determined, many attend
school in their
only set of clothes.
Now over
350 children
in the areas of Shiro Meda - Addis Ababa, Debre Zeyit and Mojo
are recieving the crucial early
education
they need.
In Ethiopia,
free, state education is unavailable to children under the age
of 6. Tesfa believe all children have the right to an education
and that 'the hope of the community is in the mind of a child'.
Teachers
for the Tesfa schools are recruited locally, paid a fair local
wage, and trained to a high standard. This approach is motivating
adult aspirations and inspiring
hope within
the community.
