Sponsor Trips
Please Join us on our next Expedition to Ethiopia, in April, 2025. You can reserve your spot with a $500 deposit. Sponsor trips to Ethiopia are a great way to meet your COEEF sponsored student(s) and see first-hand why educating girls in Ethiopia is so important. On these trips, you will visit COEEF partner schools and students, volunteer your time at the schools helping with projects and students, experience the culture in the city and countryside, see the wildlife and nature, learn about the rich history of Ethiopia, attend traditional dinners with cultural song and dance entertainment, with an optional add-on trip to Uganda, and a possible stop-over in Cairo, Egypt, and much more. Donate your time to a meaningful humanitarian project and group of people who will forever be changed by your involvement.
