Community Heroes: Local Businesses Supporting Girls’ Education in Ethiopia

At EthioGBFF, we believe education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. With the generous support of local businesses, we’re making a real, tangible difference in the lives of young girls in Ethiopia. These Community Heroes proudly host donation boxes at their locations to raise crucial funds for the education of girls determined to create brighter futures for themselves, their families, and their communities.

Why Support Education in Ethiopia?

When girls are educated, the possibilities are endless. Educated girls are far more likely to lead healthier, prosperous lives and drive positive change within their communities. At EthioGBFF, we provide girls with school supplies, hygiene products, safe transportation, and financial support, all removing barriers to their education. By supporting us, you’re helping young women in Ethiopia unlock their potential, pursue their ambitions, and become the next generation of teachers, doctors, engineers, and leaders.
