About Us
Who We Are
The Fregenet Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating educational opportunities for impoverished children. Our pilot school The Fregenet Kidan Lehitsanat school opened its doors in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in the fall of 2004.
In Ethiopia, the public school system provides free education but the students have to find a way to pay for meals, uniform and books. For many children, this simple goal is unreachable due to their family’s financial circumstances. Moreover, the average teacher to students ratio in the public school (particularly in the lower grade school level) is about 1 to 80. And there are no pre-K or kindergarten programs.
With these obstacles, it is no surprise that only the wealthy in Ethiopia can afford a quality education for their children.
Our Projects
Fregenet Foundation Addis Ababa Project
We are thrilled to announce the upcoming construction of a state-of-the-art building that will serve as a flagship project for our foundation. This modern facility will be designed to not only serve as a hub for our organization’s activities but also as a beacon of hope for our community.
Located in the heart of the city, this building will be a symbol of progress, innovation, and inclusivity. It will feature spacious and modern interiors that are designed to promote collaboration and creativity among our staff and volunteers. The facility will also be fully equipped with cutting-edge technology and infrastructure to support our work.
Fregenet Foundation Denbi DebreZeit Project
The newly established school in Bishoftu, Ethiopia, is a testament to the commitment of the Fregenet Foundation to improve access to education in underprivileged communities.
This school provides children in the area with the opportunity to receive a quality education that will enable them to build a better future for themselves and their families. The school is equipped with modern facilities and resources, including classrooms, a library, and a computer lab, to provide an interactive and stimulating learning environment. The school’s curriculum is designed to meet the needs of the local community and is taught by qualified and passionate teachers who are committed to helping their students achieve academic success.
The Fregenet Foundation is proud to be part of this initiative and remains dedicated to promoting education as a key driver of social and economic development in Ethiopia.
