What We Do

Improve Schools

Every child deserves a school ready to support their learning and success. Your gift stocks libraries, creates hands-on science labs, builds desks, replaces broken blackboards, and supports teachers to bring their best to the classroom. When a school is improved, entire villages are improved! 

What are School Improvement Projects?

Your support brings life-changing resources to rural schools: microscopes to discover the wonders of science, desks so students have a seat in the classroom, books that spark deeper learning, and more! When you give, you provide teachers with quality materials for teaching, and school classrooms that are ready to inspire young minds. Your loving support helps a rural classroom come alive with possibility and promise.

Why are School Improvement Projects so important?

School Improvement Projects are the perfect complement to School Sponsorships and represent Roots Ethiopia’s comprehensive strategy to unite individual and institutional support. We build long-term relationships with School Improvement Project schools in order to support, encourage, and respond to school needs. Each project reflects the feedback and input of the community.

Yemisarech loves chemistry and now conducts hands-on experiments in Mugunja’s new science lab!

With your help, we can continue to improve educational opportunities for more students like Yemisarech.
