Abi Adi Grade 1-4 Primary School
A day at school in Abi Adi for 94 boys and 74 girls is about to get a whole lot better. The story of an entire community is about to change.
A Story from Abi Adi
All individuals possess the ability to generate what they need. For Abi Adi, a commitment to making a 20% cash contribution to fund the cost of a four classroom primary school is an important step to a future of self-sufficiency for an entire community. Responding with wisdom and enthusiasm to imagine1day’s request for partnership proposals in the district of Kilte Awelalo, the community of Abi Adi declared a clear commitment to their children’s education. In addition to labour and in kind-contributions, parents, elders and religious leaders have pooled their resources to join hands with imagine1day as financial partners in an investment guaranteed to generate positive returns.
