Back to school with School Readiness Initiative

September 10, 2020

Over half of Ethiopian children do not complete primary school. Through a comprehensive, high quality pre-school program, the School Readiness Initiative provides thousands of the country’s most disadvantaged children a chance to graduate. Its Friends of School Readiness Initiative contributed $54,000 to prepare primary schools to safely reopen their doors after 5 months of closure due to COVID-19.
