From its inception, FAWE Ethiopia has been unwavering in its mission to promote gender equality in education nationwide. As an integral member of a broader network spanning 34 chapters across Sub-Saharan Africa, the chapter has actively collaborated with government entities, local communities, schools, and international organizations to foster an inclusive educational environment.
