In rural Ethiopia, children want to learn — but classrooms are often crumbling, supplies are scarce, and teachers have no training. Roots Ethiopia partners with schools to change that. Together with donors like you, we improve learning environments so students can thrive.
Why Primary School Improvements Matter
In the communities where we work, most primary schools lack basics like chalkboards, desks, and books. Class sizes are large. Teacher training is minimal. Many families consider dropping out — not because they don’t value education, but because the barriers feel too high.
Your support helps rural schools become places of hope and learning. It’s how we build long-term change for children and their communities.
What Your Support Provides
Renovated classrooms with new floors, roofs, and doors.
Desks, chalkboards, and learning materials.
Teachers get training using engaging, child centered methods.
School libraries and science labs are built and supplied.
Access to water, latrines, and safe play areas.
Meet Yemisarech, a student at Mugunja School. We partnered with Mugunja School on a School Improvement Project – Yemisarech now enjoys new textbooks, robust reference materials, improved classroom facilities, and teachers motivated by professional development.
Yemisarech loves chemistry and now conducts hands-on experiments in Mugunja’s new science lab!
Real Results from Real Schools
At Meskel Chora Preschool, classrooms were in disrepair and teachers had no training. With your support, the school now has bright classrooms, Montessori materials, trained staff, and outdoor play equipment. This year, every student completed the program — and every one of them is ready for kindergarten.
How to Get Involved
You can help a rural school get what it needs to serve students well. Whether it’s a chalkboard or a complete classroom renovation, your gift will make a difference.
