Our Diaspora association worked with EDS to launch a clean water project in our hometown. The partnership was seamless, and now over 1,000 families have access to safe drinking water. It's truly life-changing.

Being part of the Cultural Exchange Program was the most enriching experience of my life. I visited Ethiopia for the first time in 15 years and had the chance to share my skills as an engineer with young professionals in Bahir Dar. This program has deepened my pride in being Ethiopian.

The GERD campaign brought us together as a Diaspora community. Working with EDS gave us the platform to make an impact and show that we're invested in Ethiopia's future.

Thanks to EDS, I've started a business in Addis and created jobs for 15 people. They've made investing back home so much easier

Joining the Diaspora Business & Investment initiative was a turning point for me. I always wanted to give back to Ethiopia, but I didn't know where to start. Today, my small agribusiness in Hawassa is thriving, and I'm proud to create jobs while contributing to Ethiopia's economy.
