Leadership of Ethiopia Arise

Klaus and Ruth Betz

The project mainly focuses on the children’s-home project in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

There, Ethiopia Arise launched the Children’s-House Project under the direction of Ruth and Klaus Betz in 2008.

Qualified Staff

For this purpose, qualified staff was recruited, including an accountant, a cook, three day and night watchmen, three cleaners and kitchen helpers who are also occupied with errands and taking care for the children.

Furthermore there are three kindergarten teachers who have been trained in part by the Montessori-Principle and three teachers for Saturday school (including Mathematics, English and Sports).

Association

All major and significant decisions are made by the German branch of the association at the annual general meeting or, in some cases, in close consultation with the leaders in Ethiopia.
