Overview
Education for Development Association (EFDA) is a non-government, national development organization established in Ethiopia in May 1999. By means of improved training of the children, the EFDA wishes to strengthen the community and, hence, bring about social change. The main priority of EFDA is to ensure the access to and quality of primary school education. In particular, orphans and children in difficult situations should be able to attend schools which have qualified and motivated teaching staff. EFDA itself is an organization with a small staff since it works very closely with local authorities and the population and integrating them in the projects. The development of activities in the communities is central to the sustainable improvement of the educational environment.
