Kavli Trust and Reach for Change
Accelerating development through digital innovation in Ethiopia
In 2016, Kavli Trust and Reach for Change joined hands with the mission to transform lives in the country by merging the power of digital innovation with that of social entrepreneurship. Though the social entrepreneurship sector in Ethiopia is quite new, it has already shown to be a critical catalyst in driving change and impact in the society.
