Dear Friends and Supporters,
We write today with gratitude for your interest in the Assistive Tech for Ethiopians with Disabilities project by the Hailay and Tsehay Foundation. As of now, we have not yet received any donations to this campaign, and so no activities have been able to begin. The project goal remains US$60,000, and those funds are still fully needed.
Although fundraising has not yet met our target, we continue to build awareness and readiness behind the scenes. We have been actively promoting the Foundation through our Facebook page and other social media platforms, including accessible-format videos to share our mission, activities, and the urgent need for assistive technologies in Ethiopia. These will help potential donors see firsthand what your support would make possible.
This project aims to provide affordable assistive devices (such as screen readers, Braille keyboards, mobility aids) and training so persons with disabilities can fully participate in education, employment, and community life. With the right funding, we believe we can begin with pilot distributions and training, and then scale up to broader outreach.
We warmly invite you to consider making a donation. Your gift of any size could help us launch the first phase of this work and send a powerful message that inclusion matters. To contribute, please visit our GlobalGiving project page. Your faith in this vision would mean the world.
We also invite you to help us spread the word by sharing our project and following our social media pages. Every share, like, and comment helps raise awareness and bring us closer to making this vision a reality.
