The critical conditions in Amhara will change when people are given the opportunity to learn how to use natural resources wisely and to their fullest capacity.
Education and training are the keys to success.
That’s why we’ll never bring clean water to a community without also appointing Water Caretakers and a Water and Sanitation Committee who are trained to manage and maintain the water point.
We’ll never build a community irrigation system without also providing crop management training so villagers can generate enough food to feed their families all year ‘round.
And we’ll never do forestry development in a community without also providing environmental education and promoting energy saving devices such as fuel-efficient stoves.
ORDA is here to give the people of Amhara the help they need for a healthier today, and the education they must have for a more successful tomorrow.
