Ethiopia

Did You Know?

Ethiopia is a diverse and world-class stage for natural beauty and wildlife viewing, although the tourism industry is poorly developed. There are over 845 species of birds and 260 species of mammals, of which 50 are indigenous only to Ethiopia. Important areas of interest are Blue Nile Falls, Tana Lake (largest in Ethiopia), Simiem Mountains (3rd highest in Africa), Rift Valley lakes and the Sof Omar Caves in the south province.
2009 Project Update #10

BA recently announced the renewal of our corporate long-term commitment to support Partners in the Horn of Africa (Partners) and, as such, approached Partners looking for new opportunities to renew employee interest and foster further collaboration. Partners responded with a proposed reforestation project, to which EBA has committed to support. The new project is called GROW Ethiopia.

Earlier this year we announced that we will add to the three years and $150,000 of support that we have provided with a further seven-year, $350,000 commitment to Partners in the Horn of Africa’s (Partners) community building projects in Ethiopia. The overall project will bring more than 150 clean water wells, 17 springs and model latrines to approximately 800,000 people.

2009 Project Update #8

My time here in Ethiopia has been incredible and I have had a blast with the Partners In The Horn of Africa people, John, David and Yehelem. We spent the first nine days in Bahir Dar working with the Gojam Zone people further defining the projects and doing site visits. All of the areas we are looking at have extremely poor water sources right now and the work we are planning will make a huge difference.
