Collaboration with Wegene Ethiopian Foundation
For 24 years, Wegene Ethiopian Foundation has made significant strides in supporting the Ethiopian community. Particularly the educational opportunities created for students strikes the interest in this collaboration. Young Minds collaborated with Wegene to enhance these efforts by sharing responsibilities.
The goal is to spread equity through education. The youth is the next generation that will govern the way of life and it is our responsibility to ensure that knowledge of the highest quality is instilled in them. In the long run, the impact made today will be reflected in the growth of our economy, infrastructural expansion, and accessibility of basic needs. We collaborated to be part of our story as well, the story of the future.
