We met virtually in January of 2022 for the first time. I was researching small community-based nonprofits that were working on the education sector in Ethiopia and I came across Demissew Getaneh, the founder of Take Care of Home. Initially drawn together by a shared passion for community service in the education sector of Ethiopia, what began as a routine Zoom meeting quickly transformed into a profound three-hour conversation. The depth of our connection became immediately apparent as two alike spirits, bound by an unwavering love and dedication to service, engaged in a heartfelt dialogue.

Fast forward one year, and Amaano by Take Care of Home was born. Fuelled by an overwhelming love and commitment to our homeland, communities, and the very places that shaped us, we felt an innate calling to actively participate in the development of our society. Education emerged as the focal point of our commitment, driven by the profound belief that it serves as a cornerstone in the holistic development of every child. In this shared vision, we found purpose, unity, and a powerful force propelling us forward on a journey of service and impact for the betterment of our nation.
