About Selamawi
This name “Selamawi” itself is an Amharic term chosen for the very example it should be when describing a person, group or community as peaceful. The project encompasses a variety of programs under one umbrella which are all aimed at creating an environment that elevates peaceful coexistence and harmony amongst the communities in Ethiopia. Through our bold projects on the ground we push to change the status quo to produce a much more enlightened community tackling the current conflict and violence one step at a time.
