We’re so grateful for your interest and support in helping us bring computers—and a world of opportunity—to the students of Genet Miriam School in rural Ethiopia. Though progress on this project has been slower than we hoped, our commitment to making it happen has not wavered.
Where We Are Now:
While this campaign on GlobalGiving has not yet reached the funding level we need to launch the project, we continue to share this opportunity with our supporters and seek additional partnerships. At the same time, the difficult political and economic situation in Ethiopia has made it even harder for small rural schools like Genet Miriam to access resources like these..
However, this project remains a top priority for the Genanaw Foundation. We are actively pursuing additional funding sources and partnerships and we’re hopeful that with persistence, we’ll be able to bring this project to life.
Why This Project Still Inspires Us:
Every time we visit the school, we’re reminded of why this matters so much. These students are eager, determined, and full of potential. They deserve access to the same digital tools and learning opportunities as their peers in urban centers. A computer lab isn’t just about technology—it’s about giving these young people the skills to shape their own futures and uplift their communities.
Looking Forward:
We envision a bright future: 25 computers, reliable internet, trained teachers, and classrooms buzzing with new possibilities. We know it’s achievable, and we’re committed to seeing it through—even if it takes a little longer than we hoped.
Thank you for believing in this vision with us. Your support gives us strength to keep going.
