The barriers for children to go to school in Africa and in countries such as Ethiopia are many. School fees, uniforms and supplies that millions of families are unable to afford, poor quality of teaching and inadequacy of learning materials are some of the factors that hinder for children to go to school in Africa. For girls, the barriers are even greater as they are required to stay in the house and help their mothers in house chores and are not provided with school resources they need like their brothers.

Organizations such as Books Ethiopia Foundation, focus on establishing strong education systems which enable children and youth, particularly girls, to get quality basic education. You can also get involved with providing support to meet the education needs by visiting our website Books Ethiopia Foundation and donating to our cause.
