Bethel Evangelical Secondary School students learning in History class.

The goal of Ethiopia Education Endowment Fund's Development Committee, in partnership with PC (USA) and Western Wollega Bethel Synod, is to raise funds via the endowment to underwrite and continue improving the education programs of Berhane Yesus Elementary School, Bethel Evangelical Secondary School, and Gidada Bible School,  which are historically connected to the mission work of PC (USA).    EEEF’s initiatives allow for these schools to continue their mission of preparing the people of Western Wollega for all facets of life, and ministry through quality curriculum, educational training, and Christian teaching and leadership programs.   Young people receiving an education from any one of these institutions offer much hope for change in a community, and country that continues to experience the oppression of poverty in an uncertain existence.

While EEEF's primary focus is long-term development, we also recognize the significant, immediate needs of our schools, and daily challenges for their administrators. Recruiting and securing quality educators to teach our students is vital to their success, and laying the foundation for their futures.  Volunteering time and talent, an outgrowth of the Development Committee's' work, is also important.  We value, and embrace those interested in joining mission work teams to Dembi Dollo, and invite you to learn more about our projects, which are separately funded by each mission team.  Coming soon, you will be able to apply online indicating your interest - individual or group - in serving.
