Our Students

Here are pictures of the first two students who have been able to complete their studies thanks to the support of the Lalibela Educational Trust. Click here to read their personal story.

Tigist

Tigist is the sister of Amdemariam (Amde) who was the first child to be sponsored. Tigist teaches music and PE and is keen to return to Lalibela to work in her home town.

Woynshet

Woynshet completed a three-year Nursing Diploma from the Africa Health College in Addis Ababa. She intends to start working and then return to studying at a later stage to gain degree-level Nursing qualifications

Currently, LET supports three students: Amdemariam who studies at University in Addis Ababa, and Fanaye and Tureye who are both studying to become nurses. As they complete their studies, other young people will come and take their place. The trust is committed to supporting all the children currently in the sponsorship project until they have completed their higher education.
