Advancing Education In Ethiopia
The Big Give
has ended!
We are overjoyed to share the incredible news: thanks to your generosity and compassion, we’ve reached our £50,000 target for the Big Give Christmas Challenge!
This achievement is not just about raising funds—it’s about the community of supporters who have come together to make a real difference in the lives of children who need it most. Your kindness and belief in our mission are helping create a brighter future for the 650+ students at St. George’s School.
Your support couldn’t have come at a more crucial time. Gondar is facing unimaginable challenges. Ongoing conflict has left many families struggling to survive, while rampant hyperinflation means even the most basic necessities are now out of reach. For many families, providing enough food or clothing is impossible, let alone the cost of uniforms or education. St. George’s has become a lifeline, and thanks to your incredible generosity, we can continue to provide the things these children desperately need.
What We Do
NAEF’s mission is to build an educated community of future leaders in Ethiopia.
The charity has earned a reputation for changing the social structure in Gondar by developing some of Ethiopia’s most employable young adults.
We aim to deliver a well-rounded education based on values of respect, responsibility, honesty and kindness.
We have created an educational and communal centre at St George’s School, with the potential to impact the immediate community of 50,000 people.
What have we done so far?
Construction of a high-quality campus in Gondar, Ethiopia, delivering primary school education based on the English curriculum
Empowered local children to be self-disciplined and confident, building into responsible citizens with a sense of duty and responsibility
Helping these children to develop their future employability, bringing prosperity to their families and local community
Sponsoring a child at NAEF connects one of our wonderful children with a brilliant sponsor like you!
We suggest a monthly sponsorship of £40 or an annual sum of £480 which is enough to provide all necessary materials for a year at our school.
NAEF is the perfect opportunity for sponsorship as you will see your child grow and develop.
“When a child starts at St George’s School, we know they have a formative schooling path ahead of them. It’s a path we wholeheartedly believe can change lives”

Why Ethiopia?
THE CHALLENGE
Over 30% of Ethiopians survive on $2 per day or less. Most children in the Amhara district of Ethiopia are illiterate, limiting future working opportunities and a life out of poverty.
THE SOLUTION
St George’s School in Gondar, was established in 2011 to educate the most vulnerable children, often orphans and all from backgrounds of extreme poverty.

Appeal for help 2024
Now more than ever, amidst intense conflict and rapid inflation in Ethiopia, we are appealing to you to help support our children at St George's School. We are so grateful for any donation to help our children.
Please watch our Christmas Appeal. It shows the devastating war which continues aside St George’s School. Your donations will help our children find safety and security at St George’s. A haven from the terrible surroundings of war and conflict.
Please support all that you can.
Sadly since early summer 2023, conflict and violence has returned to the Amhara region, where St George's School is located. Many children are displaced from their homes and families. There are shortages of food and basic supplies.
