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

This year has been one of Tesfa Foundation's strongest yet--and with your help, next year will be even brighter. We celebrated 177 students who graduated from the three schools. Kololo's 6th graders achieved top scores on the national exams. Vital teacher training was completed. New buildings were constructed to store firewood used to prepare meals. And the Azedebo and Fundame Kindergarten Schools were recognized once again for their exceptional committment to the students. These achievements show what's possible when children are given a chance--but there is still more to do.

Check out the Holiday Giving Catalog to discover ways you can become involved in giving hope to students in Central Ethiopia. Your support keeps classrooms open, empowers teachers, and helps children learn, grow, and dream of a brighter future.
