Sitotaw's story is a testament to resilience and community support. Through Project Ethiopia's microloans, he transformed from a struggling daily laborer into a prosperous farmer.

Yebirgual’s Story: Local Beekeeping and Dairy Pioneer
Yebirgual expanded her honey and dairy production with the help of Project Ethiopia, becoming one of the few pioneer women beekeepers in the region and significantly increasing her income.
Microloans Pave the Way for Economic Resilience
What would a small business or budding entrepreneur be able to do with a loan of $300 in the U.S.? Likely not very much. However, in rural Ethiopia, a loan this size can make a very significant difference in the life and livelihood of the loan recipient and their family.
Microloans - Lending to One to Benefit Many
Independence is something all humans crave. We all desire the power to make our own decisions, provide for our family, and be financially independent. When we have these things, it instills confidence, security, and joy in us. For many parts of the world a microloan is the start to independence.
Busy Year Ahead for Project Ethiopia
Work in the new year is well underway to bring new schools, safe water, dry homes, better sanitation, and farming support to communities throughout the Dangla area.
A Visit to Dangla
This past October, I had the privilege to travel to Dangla, meet the Project Ethiopia team, and visit many of our project sites. It was a quick and jam-packed week. From participating in the University Transition Awards ceremony within a couple of hours of our arrival, to witnessing the formation of two new farmers’ associations complete with a very lively nomination process to select the leadership, to visiting 10 schools helped by our project, I was so inspired by all that has been accomplished and the clear vision for what is yet to be done.
Strengthening Food Systems for Rural Families
