We want to make an impact – a lasting one. Empowering Ethiopian women through education doesn’t only help those individuals, but the entire society. Higher education is key to economic development and ultimately the escape from poverty – that is what we have dedicated ourselves to. Increasing the skill and knowledge level of women is our ultimate goal in order to enable them to live an independent and self-determined life.

Besides this project goal in Ethiopia, the PROJECT-E team in Europe has its agenda as well: Empowering others to empower ourselves. We are all students and young professionals working voluntarily in our free time for this goal – we all share a great responsibility, which allows us to develop our skills in leadership, project management, and determination. Hopefully, we can continue to motivate young people from all kinds of backgrounds to get involved – there is no better way of challenging yourself and investing in your personal development.
