Mrs. Muday Mikitu decides to start a private pre-school called Fresh and Green Academy to help children get an education.

Facing the growing number of vulnerable children, we shift our focus: if so many deprived kids cannot afford the tuition fees and food, let's find a way to make it free!

We also decide to help women in dire situations (often survivors of terrible abuses) by creating a safe and secure training and working environment where they can learn to make various products such as scarfs, shawls, dresses and various other crafts products.

Since we started we have helped more than 700 children to get a proper education, and 1000 women to start generate their own incomes. We know this is not much compared to the ongoing challenges here in Ethiopia. And so we hope to expand much more!
