Meet Uri. One of the first Hamar women to reach university and she’s doing it with an OVRP scholarship. Her journey shows what a small amount of support can unlock.

Read her story and see how you can help other students take the same step.

Some of you know I run a nonprofit in Ethiopia that provides scholarships to students in Ethiopia. We have way more deserving applicants than we can support. We have a couple of new stellar applicants that need our help. Can you chip in? Link / more details in reply

We're excited to announce a new OVRP-supported #student, Adinew Shelo!

We're honored to have Adinew, who is such a dedicated, bright, and hard-working scholar on our team. We have no doubt his research and work will be a strong benefit to numerous rural communities, like the small village he grew up in. 7/8
