You have more than one way to help children learn and mothers earn. Choose the giving option that fits you best.
Planned Giving
Include Roots Ethiopia in your will or estate plans and help children and families for years to come.
Why Your Legacy Matters
A planned gift to Roots Ethiopia does more than create a legacy. It keeps children in school and helps mothers gain skills so they can support their families. Your legacy will go the distance, so families can thrive for generations.
Education is a long-term investment. Your gift ensures that tomorrow's students have access to the same opportunities we work hard to provide today: safe classrooms, school supplies, dedicated teachers, and thriving communities. Jobs for mothers mean generations of educated children who are ready to help move their families out of extreme poverty and into better futures.
Planned gifts allow us to grow boldly and sustainably. They help us say yes to new schools, support programs for children with disabilities, and expand women's business groups in rural communities.
What a Legacy Gift Could Look Like
Imagine directing a gift from your estate, or naming Roots Ethiopia as a beneficiary on a retirement account, to expand the Self-Help Entrepreneur Program. A gift like that could provide business startup funds for hundreds of women completing their training, women ready to build something lasting for their families.
That's the kind of difference a planned gift can make. That is the difference you could make.
You don't have to be wealthy to leave a legacy. Even a simple bequest or beneficiary designation can help families stay on the road to a brighter future.
