Who We Are
 

 


Leadership

Mission Team members, including four Development Committee representatives, who visited Dembi Dollo in January and February, 2006 as part of a two-team mission trip project to build a women's dormitory for Gidada Bible School students.

During the past decade, prior to and since Ethiopia Education Endowment Fund's founding in 2003, each Development Committee member - alumni and former administrators of our three schools, missionaries, pastors, physicians, teachers, business and industry specialists - has served and worked in Dembi Dollo alongside members of the community, schools, synod and partner organizations.

Each shares the vision for continuing a rich tradition of Christian school life for students studying at Berhane Yesus, Bethel Evangelical, and Gidada Bible, while cultivating each school's potential, creating opportunities for long-term growth, and establishing a vital plan and presence for the future.  

It is this vision that fuels the passion of all involved in helping EEEF achieve its goals for this important ministry.
