“Doing our part to see healthy, peaceful, and dignified communities rising in Ethiopia through education”
Why We Help
Educate children in Asella through scholarships for a better future
Bridge for Life's primary role is to provide funds, through trusted partners, to the Asella city community for providing students with a meal during the school day, books, supplies, and uniforms. By providing a scholarship to one or more students, you can help make a difference in the lives of these children and their community.
How We Help
Self reliance through education
Bridge for Life is a non-profit organization that exists to work for community development focusing on disenfranchised children, youth, and women at the grassroots level in Asella City, Ethiopia. Our goal is to strengthen the students by removing these education roadblocks so they can help their communities identify their problems, needs, and solve those problems to attain educational independence.
Asella, Ethiopia.
Ethiopia is a country on the eastern side of Africa in an area commonly known as the “Horn of Africa”. It is home to approximately 117 million people. Ethiopia's per capita GDP is one of the lowest in the world, and it's literacy rate stood at only 52% as of 2022. The economy faces a number of serious problems, with the lack of education playing a major role in being unable to solve those problems.
Bridge for Life is dedicated to educating as many Asella children as possible. We firmly believe that education is the key to economic independence, and breaking the cycle of poverty plaguing Ethiopia.
Asella is a city of about 110,000 people and is 100 miles (160 kilometers) south of the capital Addis Ababa. Bridge for Life is focusing first on Asella since we have direct ties to the city. This provides us with some built in contacts, resources, and infrastructure, allowing us to deliver scholarships quicker to the students who need them.
