Imagine children who never saw a picture book. Imagine teachers who never read a novel or have never seen an encyclopedia. Imagine a world where students share textbooks 1 for 6 and there is nothing to read in the house. Imagine never having a book of your own. This is life for so many. h2 Empower is changing this for the people of Hadiya, a county of 120,000 children in southern Ethiopia. Books can change lives. Education is the key. You can help us empower the people of rural Ethiopia. For more information, go to www.h2empower.org and VOTE for us.

Our library will be a model for other libraries in Ethiopia. We are creating a community resource with books, magazines, newspapers, and computer access and a place where parents, teachers, students can go to learn and explore, to find ways to improve their minds, their standard of living and to resolve community concerns.
