A More Balanced World
inEthiopia

This is a nation where the literacy rate among men is 60% and among women, nearly 45%. For every 10 boys, 7 girls attend high school, where schooling is free though the 10^th grade. One in four university students are girls, but a quarter of them will drop out before they graduate. 78% of Ethiopians live in poverty.

Ethiopia is the first country in which AMBW began its work. We have supported several students through university and have watched them graduate, have removed a child labor from the streets and sent to school instead. One student obtained his bachelor and master degrees, and now works with AMBW.
