On Thursday, December 5^th, 2019, our Founder & President Mehari spoke as a guest at the Coppell Rotary Club during the Frost Holiday Open House. He shared the progress he’s made with the new hospital in Bahir Dar, and also shared the good news of the Memorandum of Understanding between Southwestern Medical and Bahir Dar University. The Rotary Foundation has 5 areas of focus for their grants: promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, sanitation and hygiene, saving mothers and children, supporting education and growing local economies. Thus, the engagement between Rotary Club and The BORNE Alliance was a natural fit, given the shared values of the organizations.
