About Us

Damot Association is a non-profit organization registered in the United States of America that focuses on supporting communities in need in Damot area, Gojjam, Ethiopia in the area of education so that students can achieve their maximum potential.

According to a 2020 World Band publication, less than 20% of children from very poor households finish primary school in Ethiopia. Another report made public in 2017 by the Ministry of Education in Ethiopia states that about 3 million children are out of school in Ethiopia, and nearly 25% of children enrolled in grade 1 are dropping out before passing grade 2. This report suggests that poverty is a significant barrier to education in Ethiopia. With recent political unrest and internal displacement going on several parts of Ethiopia, including the Damot area in Amhara region, one can imagine how this problem been exacerbated further. 

We believe in the power of communities and are dedicated to making a positive impact in the Damot area. Damot Association is coordinating resources to make the life of these vulnerable school children better and help them continue their education by supplying resources that help accomplish children's dreams.
