Who we are
Education 4 Change (E4C) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) registered in Ethiopia and Canada, dedicated to bridging the education gap among displaced and marginalized communities. Founded on the principle that education is a fundamental human right and a powerful tool for social change, E4Change has been operating for over a decade, making a significant impact on the ground in the Somali region of Ethiopia and beyond.
E4C places a strong emphasis on community engagement and advocacy, recognizing that sustainable change can only be achieved through the active participation and empowerment of affected communities.
Our impact reverberates far beyond the communities we serve, inspiring hope, empowering individuals, and transforming lives. As we look to the future, we remain steadfast in our commitment to building a better world where education is a right, gender equality is a reality, and every individual can thrive.
