Emmanuel Development Association (EDA) is an Ethiopian-based aid organization that is committed to improving the lives of children, youth, women and families. EDA has been providing care and support to Ethiopian communities since 1996. Over the last two decades, our programs have touched the lives of over 10 million Ethiopians.
EDA takes a holistic approach to improving the lives of disadvantaged Ethiopians. Our organization attains this goal by caring for the most vulnerable and empowering women and families to achieve improved health, wellbeing, financial growth and stability. We believe that the changes we make should be community-led and community based and sustainable. Individuals, families, communities and government agencies all play a role in our projects.
Emmanuel Development Association currently provides aid services to 17 projects across Ethiopia, with major projects in Addis Ababa, the Amhara,SNNPR and Oromia regions. Our programs provide training and ongoing support in the six areas that we believe are most important to the growth and development of our community members.
- Education
- Child Protection
- Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WaSH)
- Community Health
- Youth Livelihood Programs and Agriculture
- Community Building & Community Based Organizations
Our founder and executive director, Dr. Tessema Bekele has brought compassion and a wealth of knowledge in community development into the establishment and growth of EDA. We are an Ethiopian registered charity (#621/2009).
Emmanuel Development Association has been generously supported by the Ethiopian government and a number of international aid organizations including Canadian Feed the Children, Save the Children, USAID, Christian Childrens Fund of Canada, Oak Foundation, Banyan Tree Foundation, Munshen Fur Menshen, Bread for the World Protestant Agency Diakonial Development and the British Council. Visit our Donors Page to learn how you can work along with EDA for children, change and sustainable development in Ethiopia.
Success Stories
Twenty years ago, Bekelech was a single mother who was unable to feed or educate her 4-year-old daughter. Her husband had been killed in the war and she could not find employment.
Bekelech dreamed of opening a stall in the local market in her impoverished neighbourhood near Addis Ababa. She was accepted into the EDA family help program and provided with business training and a start up grant of 3,300 Bir ($115 US) for initial rent payments and to purchase the grains that she would sell.
She worked hard to realize her goal and is proud of her achievements. Today, Bekelech is independent and financially stable. Her daughter was able to attend primary and secondary school and has recently graduated from university as an accountant.
Bekelech recognizes the work that she put into her business, but she is also grateful for the help and support provided by EDA. “I wouldn’t be the kind of person I am today without EDA”.
