Join the Hope Movement

The Tesfa Foundation relies almost entirely on the donations of private donors. We are a small, grass-roots charity, in which the board is all-volunteer, the staff is minimal, and healthy trust and training are invested in local staff in Ethiopia. Join the Hope Movement by hosting a fundraiser, sponsor a student, or making a donation. Your support will help sustain our programs and work in Ethiopia.

Holiday Giving Catalog

We want to allow you to choose how you want to give the gift of hope to Tesfa Foundation students this holiday season. Whether it be a school lunch for one student, a uniform and backpack, or a teacher’s salary, every gift will impact the lives of very special children in Central Ethiopia. We would be grateful for your help in keeping the schools open for another year. Use the QR codes to make your gift possible. Be sure to check out the impact story at the end of the catalog.
