Because talent is universal, but opportunity is not
Ethiopia Education Initiatives (EEI) is unlocking the potential of Ethiopia’s most promising youth and helping ignite positive change in education more broadly.
Our flagship project, Haile‑Manas Academy, is a model, first of its kind boarding school that delivers academic excellence in a residential setting that promotes community, service and leadership.
