Founded in 2011, WEEMA International is a non-governmental organization working in Ethiopia's Central Region with a catchment area of 3 million people. WEEMA partners with rural communities to ensure access to clean water, enhance education, empower marginalized communities, strengthen health systems, and achieve food security. We are deeply rooted in place, practice community-led development (localization), and strive to be exemplars to others. In the local language, the word "weema" means "to become whole" or "fulfilled" and has deep cultural significance. W-E-E-M-A is also an acronym for our programmatic areas- water, education, empowerment, medical, and agriculture.
