 ጋዜጣዊ መግለጫ 

We Did It! Thank you donors. We just delivered the first $60,000 in donations to the Ethiopian Diaspora Trust Fund Council on December 1st, 2018 at the Ethiopian Embassy in Washington DC. Thank you members of the EDTF Advisory Council. Please donate then share. It's for Ethiopia. If not us then who? 


Ethiopia needs you! Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has challenged the diaspora community to donate $1 or more to help fellow Ethiopian citizens.  Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can ​do for your country.  Take this opportunity to respond to his challenge.  Donations from all supporters of Ethiopia are very welcome to donate too.  

After just 100 days in office, Ethiopia’s new Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed, has taken radical steps to dismantle the country’s troubled past and pave the way for a new future. After years of protests, state killings, ethnic violence, internet shutdowns, and emergency rules, Ethiopia has made an astonishing and promising turnaround for the better.  Ethiopia's government and people are ready to make lasting change that will enable generations to come in so many ways, and the time is now for people around the world to support them.

NOTE!  $1/day or $365/Year. Give $1 get $1 tax credit.  All charitable donations are tax deductible. Support PM Dr. Abiy & Ethiopia.  Please GIVE then SHARE.

Q. Why and how will I get my tax credit/refund?


A. We are 501 (c)(3) none profit charity & as a result you will immediately receive an email receipt for your donation. Submit your receipt to the IRS when filing your taxes.  It's for a good cause. It's for Ethiopia. Please GIVE then Share.

Q. Who is organizing this fundraising?

A. We are a group of Ethiopian diaspora, former classmates of St. Joseph School of Addis Abeba, DMV area residents, entrepreneurs, professionals and local business owners. Just like you we are very excited and inspired by all of all the changes that are happening in Ethiopia. We support PMAA's vision of peace, love and reconciliation. We are trying to give back to Ethiopia. Please join us. Freedom is never free. It has to be supported and protected.
