The ‘Books for Sidama’s Bright Future Generation Project’ is a Global Online Fundraising Campaign conducted by Books For Africa and Hawassa University. It aims to reach a goal of $12,300, with $4,076 already raised.

We earnestly request your donation to the “Books for Sidama’s Bright Future Generation Project.”

Introduction:

The “Books for Sidama’s Bright Future Generation Project” Online Global Fundraising Campaign is designed to bolster education in the Sidama Region of Ethiopia through a collaborative project between Books For Africa (BFA) and Hawassa University (HU) [1].

Objective of the Project:

 The primary goal of the Books for Sidama’s Bright Future Generation Project is to enhance educational quality and promote the intellectual, aesthetic, cultural, and emotional development of students by tackling the significant lack of reference books and computers in primary and secondary schools across the Sidama region. Currently, our fundraising campaign is advancing towards our target of $12,300, necessary to cover the shipping expenses for the donated books and computers [1].

Target Beneficiaries:

 The intended beneficiaries of this project include all students and educators in primary and secondary schools throughout the Sidama National Regional State in Ethiopia [1].

Implementation:

The online fundraising campaign is officially hosted on the ‘Donate to a Project’ page of the Books For Africa platform. Once we reach our project goal of $12,300, which covers the shipping costs, the books will be sent from the USA to the Sidama region in Ethiopia. The project’s initiator, Mr. Mulugeta Woldetsadik, a committed librarian at Hawassa University in the Sidama region, is at the forefront of coordinating the fundraising efforts and professional activities related to the BFA-HU partnership project. He will persist in these duties, whether in Ethiopia or abroad, in partnership with the main host, Books For Africa, and the parent institution, Hawassa University, until the funding goal is achieved.

We cannot achieve our project goal and be successful without your help!

Therefore, we cordially invite all philanthropic entities, non-governmental organizations, and governmental agencies, both local and international, particularly those committed to social responsibility and community development, to support and collaborate with us on this initiative. Your contributions and involvement will greatly improve the educational landscape in the Sidama region [1].
