Every Purchase Makes A Difference: Donating to Mekedonia Humanitarian Association
TheEthiopianStore and Its Customers Giving Back to the Community
As we celebrate Ethiopian Christmas, we reflect on the journey we’ve embarked on together, our journey with our valued customers. It’s been a path of growth, learning, and sharing, and today we’re humbled to announce that we have donated 50,000 Birr to Mekedonia, an elderly and mentally challenged care center in Ethiopia, as promised.
Our promise was simple: for every order placed with, $1 would be set aside for Mekedonia. What began as a small idea quickly became a meaningful contribution, made possible only because of your support. Every time you bought a dress, you didn’t just add a beautiful piece to your wardrobe, you became part of something bigger, something that goes beyond clothing.
The Heart Behind the Initiative
The idea for this program came from our company’s founders and staff members, who knew the importance of building a large community that values its tradition and society. By linking each sale to a direct donation, our team ensures that every customer becomes part of a larger mission to support the vulnerable members of the community.
The Impact of Every Dollar
As most of us know, Mekedonia Charity provides essential services such as food, medical care, counseling, and safe housing for more than 6000 people across the country. For many elderly individuals and those with mental health challenges, this shelter is a lifeline. Your smallest contribution could mean a lot for one elderly individual or mentally challenged individual.
Connecting Tradition with Compassion
Every thread of Ethiopian traditional clothing carries a story of culture, history, and identity. Every item we sell embodies the artistry and heritage of our ancestors. When you wear these pieces, you’re not just celebrating Ethiopia’s rich traditions but also becoming part of something bigger. Through your purchase, you help support Mekedonia, bridging the beauty of our culture with the power of giving back. Together, we honor our roots while creating a brighter future for those in need.
A Part of Something Bigger
For those of you living outside of Ethiopia, this donation is a powerful reminder of the difference we can all make. You may be far away, but your contributions are making a significant impact in the lives of vulnerable individuals in Ethiopia.
It’s not about the size of the donation, it's about the collective effort. This is a step in the right direction toward a better, more connected world. It’s about giving back to the community and showing love.
We are very grateful to have the opportunity to serve you while also supporting a cause that is much bigger than us. Thank you all for being part of our journey to make a significant impact in our community and nation.
