The academic structure is complemented by reading materials and creative technology-based learning solutions. Our schools offer a child-friendly learning environment fostering equality and respect. We strive to ensure all our students realize their full potential.
The Foundation also operates Pharo Ventures, the for-profit arm of its operations with sustainable businesses in Ethiopia and Somaliland geared towards job creation and economic empowerment.
