Education
The Berhan Foundation is dedicated to being a catalyst for positive change in education, striving to break down barriers, cultivate potential, and empower individuals and communities to realize their fullest educational aspirations. Through strategic philanthropic initiatives focused on scholarships, infrastructure development, and teacher capacity-building, we aim to pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive future where every individual has the opportunity to thrive through education.
To realize this vision, our foundation is committed to directing resources towards several strategic areas:
​
a) Empowering through scholarships and financial aid: We firmly believe that financial barriers should never hinder a student's access to education. Thus, the Berhan Foundation will establish comprehensive scholarship programs aimed at supporting underprivileged students. These scholarships will not only cover tuition fees but also extend to purchasing essential educational materials, providing transportation assistance, and addressing other associated costs. By alleviating financial burdens, we aim to empower deserving students to pursue their academic aspirations unhindered.
​
b) Building educational infrastructure for thriving communities: Access to quality education goes hand in hand with adequate infrastructure. Therefore, our foundation will invest in the development and enhancement of educational facilities in underserved communities. This includes the construction of schools equipped with modern classrooms, libraries stocked with diverse learning resources, computer labs outfitted with up-to-date technology, and other essential amenities conducive to effective learning environments. Through these initiatives, we aim to lay the foundation for thriving educational ecosystems that inspire and empower generations to come.

c) Cultivating excellence through teacher training and capacity-building: At the heart of every successful educational endeavor are dedicated and well-trained educators. Recognizing this, the Berhan Foundation is committed to enhancing the quality of teaching in underserved areas by investing in teacher training and professional development initiatives. We will provide opportunities for teachers to attend workshops, access resources, engage in mentorship programs, and pursue further education to enhance their pedagogical skills and subject expertise. By equipping educators with the tools and support they need to excel, we strive to foster a culture of excellence in teaching that positively impacts student learning outcomes and overall educational quality.
