Since 1997, SWDA has been dedicated to uplifting poor and vulnerable women, girls, and children in the Oromia region. Founded by a passionate Ethiopian woman, our organization believes in the power of self-help and empowerment to transform lives and break the cycle of poverty. With our headquarters in Addis Ababa, SWDA works at the grassroots level to promote sustainable development, build resilience, and protect human rights. We are committed to tackling the root causes of poverty, inequality, and injustice. For 28 years, SWDA has been creating meaningful opportunities for women and girls to gain agency, lead their communities, and build better futures.
