ABOUT US

Ethiopia Reads was founded in 1998 with the goal of providing much needed in-language books to the children of Ethiopia. The vision quickly grew and by 2012, Ethiopia Reads had planted over 60 libraries across Ethiopia and had kicked off an unmatched librarian and educator peer mentoring and training program.

After integrating with The Tesfa Foundation in 2012, our vision widened to include holistic young child education and life skills mentoring for young athletes. We have built 8 schools and have more planned. Team Tesfa wins awards every year.

Today, Ethiopia Reads is a new organization with a focus on schools, libraries, young athlete education and mentorship and educator training. We move forward with a focus on toward working within Ethiopian communities and partnering with the communities to cultivate minds for a stronger tomorrow.
