Ethiopia-Meki Education Scholarships
At the Tara For Women Foundation we work with women of all ages from around the world, helping and empowering them to fulfil their personal and professional dreams. For this reason, we have joined forces with the Pablo Hortsmann Foundation to achieve this beautiful project together.
Our vision is not limited to recognizing the importance of education , but translates into concrete actions to ensure that women and young people have access to the tools and resources necessary for their growth and development . The vulnerability of young people is a crucial issue throughout the world.
In some of the most disadvantaged places, such as Meki-Ethiopia , young people face significant difficulties in accessing basic resources such as food, education and healthcare, where:
42% of the population lives below the poverty line ($1.9 per day).
3 doctors per 100,000 inhabitants
1 in 6 children die before they turn 5
1 in 2 suffers from some type of malnutrition.
The Tara For Women Scholarship focuses on supporting 50 female secondary and high school students in the village of Meki-Ethiopia. In doing so, we not only offer them the opportunity to accessquality education, but we also provide them with the tools necessary tobuild a more prosperous future for themselves and their communities.
We aim to increase the school enrolment rate in the Meki-Ethiopia catchment area by complementing the efforts of the Ethiopian Government rather than replacing them. By providing additional support, the foundation contributes to strengthening and expanding the reach of existing educational programmes as well as those of the Global Education Agenda 2030.
The social impact of our scholarship program aimed at supporting young female secondary and high school students goes beyond providing simple aid; its fundamental objective is to encourage them to achieve their dreams, generating tangible opportunities that foster continuous development. In line with the 2030 agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) , our program directly addresses key areas that positively impact the community.
