Ethiopia’s first indigenous Non-Governmental Organisation runs some fantastic projects with the aim of providing a future for the children of Ethiopia. HOPE have also established highly successful primary and secondary schools, as well as running vocational centres, which have a great record of job placement and job creation. -- Ethiopiaid Ireland

The HOPE schools are very important for hundreds of children from very poor families in Ethiopia. Their lives changed when they got the opportunity to join a school in Addis Ababa, Dessie or Gambella. -- Marike de Kloe, educational consultant

Almost all children that enter the Ladders of HOPE successfully complete the whole chain. The field-visits, interviews and questionnaires to pupils and ex-graduates show that these target-groups are happy and have a clearly improved self-esteem. They indicate that their social-economic situation has improved. They show a positive appreciation of the quality and professionalism of HOPE Enterprises. -- TMF Economic Development expert study of Woord en Daad and HOPE Enterprises

We honor him for his noble commitment to helping the less fortunate, and for instilling a sense of hope and success for the future of Ethiopia and its children. -- Society of Ethiopians Established in Diaspora
