Current Project – Female Washrooms
Our goal is to build 4 girls’ bathrooms, within the next year, at schools in the Somali region of Ethiopia. This will remove one of the barriers that are preventing girls from attending school, and having a bathroom at each school will lead to higher enrollment rates for girls. Having a bathroom at school will also make them feel more welcome at school and helps to maintain their hygiene.
We appreciate any and all donations towards this project or supporting the general costs of keeping our programs in Ethiopia running. Please visit our Donation Page through Canada Helps.
About Us
We are a volunteer organization that is run from Canada by a Board of Directors from the education and social services sector. The only paid staff members for Education 4 Change are those who are working in Ethiopia. We are a not-for-profit corporation with charitable status in Canada.
Make a Difference
We are always happy to accept financial donations. We would also be happy to hear from individuals or groups who have ideas to help us fundraise to support our projects.
Our Projects
Our Canadian office and fundraising efforts are run strictly by volunteers. Our largest cost is the salaries of our staff working in Ethiopia with the remainder being used to support the purchasing of resources and improving our offerings within the communities.
Sustainability
At Education 4 Change we look to be involved in projects that over time have a greater chance of becoming self-sustaining. Two of the original communities have now been able to self-fund their teachers allowing us to move to new areas to support.
