BELETU

The Beletu Foundation provides both financial and advisory support for projects that contribute to the development of Ethiopia. Because we feel that the relatively small initiatives started within communities themselves can provide a meaningful stimulus to development, all projects supported by the Beletu Foundation are local initiatives... Beletu, meaning "large woman", is the nickname that the children living on the streets of Gondar, a city in northern Ethiopia, gave Marieke, our "large and great woman" fieldworker. We have chosen Beletu as the name for this foundation because we aim to support "great people".
