Volunteering in Ethiopia
Volunteerism is not a new concept to Ethiopia. Particularly in rural areas, communities have historically pooled their labor to support agricultural activities such as weeding and harvesting. They also come together to build traditional thatched-roof huts for the poorest or barren couples. Recognizing the significance of volunteerism, the Ethiopian government launched the Summer Volunteering Scheme in 2010, a program designed to university students in support of tutor services for lower grade students.

Why volunteer with Habitat for Humanity Ethiopia?
Volunteering has been an integral part of HFH’s work. Our volunteer program aims at engaging individuals, groups and stakeholders to support Habitat for Humanity’s ideologies of working in partnership, sharing cross-cultural experiences, and advocating for affordable housing. Volunteer engagement is the strategic pillar of our current global strategy and identified as a pathway to achieving our country strategy.
Habitat for Humanity Ethiopia volunteer program started in 2000 and has since mobilized thousands of international and local volunteers who worked alongside partner families and supported them to become homeowners.
