PROJECT-E is a non-profit organisation originally established in Austria and registered as an international NGO in Ethiopia. Our mission is to provide vocational training as a tool to fight poverty, benefitting young Ethiopian women who are in financial, social or psychological need and do not have access to higher education. We believe that education is one of the most important foundations to escape poverty. Therefore, PROJECT-E empowers young Ethiopian women to develop their full potential by providing free high-quality training in hospitality through full sponsorships, leading to a new generation of self-confident and independent women. As a first project, the Secretarial Science College offers a three year training for office assistance in Ethiopia, composed of theoretical as well as practical parts and enjoying the highest accreditation by the Ethiopian government. With this project currently being handed over to a local partner organization, PROJECT-E is launching its second project: A Hospitality Institute offering a 2-year education program in Hotel Operations in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
