Help Us Transform Lives Through Education: My Fundraising Mission

Hello, my name is Biruk Desta. As a photographer and an active member of the Ethiopian community, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless stories of resilience and ambition. One story that continues to inspire me is that of young Ethiopian women fighting for a chance at education, often against overwhelming odds. I am proud to support the Ethiopian Girls’ Bright Future Fund (EthioGBFF), an organization dedicated to empowering young women by removing the barriers that keep them from reaching their potential.

In Ethiopia, a young woman’s journey to higher education is often hindered by poverty, limited resources, and cultural pressures. Too many talented girls are held back, and their dreams are deferred because they lack the means to continue their studies. EthioGBFF works tirelessly to change this reality. By providing scholarships, school supplies, and essential transportation, we give these young women a real opportunity to become the doctors, teachers, engineers, and leaders they aspire to be—roles that our communities desperately need.

I’m reaching out to ask for your support in this mission. Every contribution, no matter the size, can make a significant difference. Together, we can equip these young women with the tools they need to succeed, opening doors that would otherwise remain closed. Each scholarship we provide is a step toward a brighter future for the recipient, her family, her community, and future generations.

This cause is very close to my heart, and I’m grateful to have allies like you. Your support is more than just a donation; it invests in resilience, ambition, and the collective power of a stronger Ethiopia. Thank you for joining me in bringing about real, lasting change.

With heartfelt gratitude,
