Amhara Development Association is established to provide social and economic services to the people through encouraging the people to participate in the development of the community. Many people still live in extreme poverty in Amhara. Even though roads, hospitals, health centers and schools have existed, their services have been far from satisfactory. It is clear that the government alone can’t overcome all these problems. That is why the Amhara Development Association (ADA) was established as a non-governmental non-profit making organization on may 1992.
