Ethiopia Reads' mission is to create a culture of reading in Ethiopia.Ethiopia Reads collaborates with communities to plant libraries, train educators, boost literacy, and provide youth and families with the tools to improve their lives.Our vision is to empower and strengthen communities through the teaching and learning of reading. We believe providing books, libraries, and trained librarians that engage students' minds will lead to a more resourceful generation of leaders in Ethiopia.Ethiopia Reads is a tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization founded in 1998 with the goal of providing much needed books to the children of Ethiopia. The vision quickly grew and by 2021 Ethiopia Reads has planted over 80 libraries across Ethiopia and developed an unmatched librarian and educator peer-mentoring/training program.With a focus on working and partnering with Ethiopian communities to cultivate minds for a stronger tomorrow, we believe that providing quality schools, books and learning initiatives that engage both the creative and logical mind will lead to a more resourceful generation of leaders in Ethiopia.Ethiopia Reads serves over 130,000 children annually.
