Who We Are
WEEMA partners with rural communities in southwestern Ethiopia to ensure access to clean water, enhance education, empower women and marginalized people, strengthen health systems, and achieve food security. We are deeply rooted in place and committed to scaling our programs across an area of 3 million people. In Ethiopia, we are 100 percent staffed by Ethiopians with the majority from the communities we serve.
What We Do
We develop holistic strategies with local leaders who understand the needs of their communities. From there, we help create sustainable solutions that achieve maximum on-the-ground impact. Our work focuses on 5 key goals- ensure clean water and sanitation, enhance education, empower women and marginalized people, strengthen health systems, and achieve food security. To reach these goals we invest in 18 distinct projects.
Our Impact
WEEMA values accountability and impact monitoring and evaluation. To that end, we track key indicators representing important objectives and outcomes of our programs. We conduct frequent review meetings and focus groups to hear first-hand feedback on strengths and areas of improvements for our work. We also strive for sustainability to ensure that our projects and impacts are long-lasting.
