Global Children’s Advocacy and Education Organization Recognizes Pioneering Curriculum Model in Ethiopia

The United States Fund for UNICEF, a leader in the global movement to improve the life of every child, awarded a first-time grant to Seeds of Africa Foundation, an organization that operates a school for gifted yet impoverished children in Adama, Ethiopia. Seeds of Africa will use the funds to expand programs through the Dream School Initiative, a commitment to build a premier school for Adama students in grades pre-K through 8th.

“This grant from the U.S Fund for UNICEF provides support at an important time for us. As we begin the initial planning for our new Dream School Initiative, we look forward to working with the U.S. Fund to ensure that students in the Adama area have access to the best education possible,” said Founder and Executive Director Atti Worku. “We are rapidly growing our model to reach more kids, and now we are grateful to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, one of the most influential children’s organizations in the world, for their support of our programs.”

Founded in 2008, Seeds of Africa began as an after-school program in a backyard classroom of makeshift desks, benches, and a free-standing chalkboard. Now, it has grown into a full-time school and community landmark: 75 children between the ages of 3 to 14 years take classes and 25 single mothers participate in literacy, financial planning, and health workshops at the Take-Root Center. Students and their parents attend programs free of charge, and students receive uniforms, school meals, food subsidies, and school supplies. At the Take-Root Center, families and community members take English classes; students’ mothers borrow micro loans and receive consultations for enhancing their businesses; and adults and children in the program receive free health screenings.
