Dear Friends and Supporters,
As the Fregenet Foundation and its school, Fregenet Kidan Lehitsanat, proudly mark 21 years of dedicated service to children from underserved communities in Ethiopia, we are thrilled to announce a bold new chapter in our journey: the launch of a modern, 21st-century education methodology.
This exciting milestone coincides with the Ethiopian New Year and the beginning of a new school season—making it the perfect moment to reflect on our accomplishments and look ahead with renewed vision and energy.
Happy Ethiopian New Year and Happy 2018 (E.C.) to all our dear friends and supporters!
As outlined in our recent press release and 5-year strategic plan, the Foundation is taking meaningful steps toward long-term sustainability. Our goal is to cover operational costs through returns on modest investments initiated in late 2024.
At the same time, we are reimagining the learning experience for today’s students. On September 15, 2025, Fregenet Kidan Lehitsanat will welcome approximately 90 students, including 30 new 4-year-olds, into an enriched learning environment. With your continued support, we aim to bring this vision to life through:
· Computer-based teaching content broadcast via wide-screen TVs
· A personal tablet for each student to support interactive, hands-on learning
These innovations are critical steps toward fulfilling our mission: to provide inclusive, high-quality, and future-ready education for all children, regardless of their background.
As we celebrate this 21-year milestone and embrace the future of learning, we sincerely thank you for your unwavering support. It is because of your generosity that we’ve come this far—and it is with your continued partnership that we will move even further.
Together, we are building a brighter future and making a lasting difference.
Thank you—and once again, Happy Ethiopian New Year!
With heartfelt gratitude,
The Fregenet Foundation
