“Look! This time, we can identify Amharic and English alphabets and numbers. We can read and operate cell phones by ourselves. We have improved our knowledge in vegetable gardening, soil and water conservation, hygiene & sanitation, and we have better awareness on saving. To tell you the truth, THP-Ethiopia is special to me. It has created access to finance, agricultural input, nursery class for small children, schools for older children, and the FAL program for adults like me and a lot more in many aspects.”
