Vision
Communities able to rise by themselves
We aspire to African communities where people live with dignity, access essential services and help build a more just and stable future.
Our vision and missionDhul Janahayn Association
Working with communities to build a life of greater dignity and stability
A local charitable association working in Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa, in partnership with communities and institutions, in education, healthcare, water, empowerment and environmental development.
Local work grounded in community knowledge
We believe communities understand their own needs best and are best placed to protect what they help build. We therefore work alongside local leaders and specialized institutions to develop programs that respond to local realities and respect human dignity.
Who we are
Our work
Connected fields centered on human needs
