#Ethiopian Red Cross opens nation’s first humanitarian school

The Ethiopian Red Cross Society inaugurated the nation’s first humanitarian school on January 27, 2025, at a ceremony held at the Ethiopian Skylight Hotel. The school aims to “build a just, peaceful, and inclusive society” by fostering leaders who are “grounded in creativity, research, and education.”

Abera Tola, President of the Ethiopian Red Cross Society, described the school as “a memorial for the victims of the war” in #Tigray. He emphasized its broader mission, saying it seeks to address “hearts wounded by war through education” and to promote “humanity and respect for individual dignity.” The school, located in Saris Aday Abeba, offers a one-year diploma program across two semesters, with nine specialized modules developed in collaboration with universities and other institutions.
