This week, on behalf of Restore The Motherland my family and I were able to distribute 600 notebooks to Mahbere Daego, 9 Chromebooks to Tadelech Hailu Highschool and 490 Midako Publishing’s Tigrinya literacy books to various elementary schools in Adwa.

Our team successfully delivered 9 Chromebook laptops thanks to the Tigray Development Association’s support with the shipment! High school students at Tadelech Hailu in Adwa will be using these laptops in the meantime while we complete the process of restoring their computer lab.

Our team successfully delivered 490 Midako Tigrinya textbooks to the remaining first grade classes in Adwa that previously did not have access to the books! Reading for all 💛

I’ve regularly read for my 4 children since they were months old. My oldest is 9 and my youngest is 1, and we read 2-3 times a week. Below are five lessons I’ve learned about reading for kids. Reading is the foundation for learning; let’s read for/with our kids! 🧵

Happy #Ashenda! 🎉 This beautiful festival, celebrated in Tigray, showcases the resilience and vibrant culture of an ancient community that has endured so much. Let’s use this moment of joy to give back—print and donate our free children's books to support literacy in Tigray.

From Neolithic Tools to Modern Education. This Neolithic artifact highlights how innovation shapes progress. Just as early tools transformed life, our learning-to-read program can revolutionize literacy in Ethiopia. Embrace change for a brighter future!#Innovation

Just like the flying shuttle sparked the Industrial Revolution, our innovation can transform Ethiopian education.

Connecting the dots.
