| Description Program Srvc Accom | During fiscal Year 2017, the Tesfa Foundation took over direct ownership of three schools it had previously built and co-owned in partnership with another U.S. non-profit, Ethiopia Reads (ER). These three schools are located in Ethiopias southern region of Kembata-Tembaro, in the villages of Kololo, Azedebo and Fundame. These schools serve a combined student population of approximately 650. These schools were first open between 2011 and 2015. The Tesfa Foundation now has sole responsibility to fundraise for operations of the schools and to oversee school staff, as well as foundation staff in Ethiopia.The foundations Team Tesfa program is undergoing a change in goals and structure. Previously administered through an actual competitive team structure in Addis Ababa (2007-2017), the focus now will be supporting individual athletes in their athletic goals, while asking in return a commitment to community service. The program will start with modest goal of supporting three athletes during the coming academic / competitive year. The community service will be volunteering among disabled communities in Addis Ababa. | DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt |
