The BFA-HU Partnership Project aims to furnish books to primary and secondary schools, particularly to the schools in the rural areas of the Sidama region, Ethiopia. That is why we are currently running an official online fundraising campaign on an official BFA Project Page. The money raised will be used to ship donated educational books on various subjects and computers directly to the Sidama region of Ethiopia.
