Since 2004, the Tesfa Foundation has provided educational opportunities to disadvantaged children and teens in Ethiopia. We build schools where no early years or primary education is available. Today, the Tesfa Foundation works primarily in Central Ethiopia in the Kembata-Tembaro zone, serving the three communities of Kololo, Fundame, and Azedebo. Seven hundred fifty students from preschool/kindergarten through 6th grade now have access to education in a country where only 49% of adults can read fluently. Children learn Amharic, English, and their local language five days per week from September through June. Our all-Ethiopian staff also teaches the students mathematics, reading, science, and basic life skills.
