A holistic approach to education that improves overall quality of life in Ethiopia

The mission of Partners in Education Ethiopia is to improve the lives of disadvantaged people through quality, inclusive education and promoting health and well-being. The organization recognizes and builds upon the strengths and resources of the communities it serves, with communities sharing an average of 40-70% of development project costs. Partners follows a holistic approach to addressing the multiple barriers children and youth in poor communities face in accessing and succeeding in education.

We implement projects in partnership with target schools, local communities, education offices, academic institutions and other NGOs, and we continue follow up of programs for up to 5 years. We began operation in 2015 and to date have built, and applied our model in, 23 schools in the Amhara National Regional State (ANRS) of Ethiopia. In total there are presently over 32,500 students and 1,065 teachers in those schools.
