🌱 Nurturing Connections: Sustainable Development for Ethiopia 🌍 ✨ Today, we're highlighting the pivotal role of our Community Development Facilitator, a true bridge between our project and the community. 🙌 Not only is our facilitator educated and skilled, but they are also a valued member of the very community they serve. Living at the heart of the community, they are always accessible, fostering strong connections and trust. This unique position allows them to deeply understand local needs and ensure that sustainable practices are embraced and implemented. 📸 In this photo, you see our facilitator, Bishaw Hunegnaw, in action—organizing and leading discussions with key stakeholders, including government officials, religious leaders, and elders. Their dedication ensures that the voices of the community are heard and that our project goals align with local values and aspirations. 🌿💧 By working closely with both the community and our head office, our facilitator helps build a unified vision for a sustainable future in Ethiopia. Together, we're ensuring that every resource, from water to land, contributes to a thriving ecosystem for generations to come. 🤍 This project could only take place thanks to the generous support of our donors, Ville de Genève, EA Foundation, CARBOGEN AMCIS, and Commune de Chêne-Bourg. #SustainableEthiopia #CommunityLed #CommunityEmpowerment #EthiopianInitiatives #SustainabilityInAction #WaterPlantsAnimals #EmpoweringCommunities #SustainableDevelopment
