Our fall field season wraps up! The team gathered rich data on demographics & social networks across Nyangatom, Dus, & Kwegu communities. What drives cross-cultural friendships and how are they used? Answers soon. Keep an eye out for our Year End Report— big insights ahead. 🌍 #Fieldwork #Africa

What does #school look like for kids in rural #pastoralist communities? From the field team in Nyangatom this week (📷: Eshetu Ewentu). In #Ethiopia, rural villages are lucky to have a schoolhouse. If not, they rely on makeshift ones like this. The real bottleneck is whether teachers come. 1/3

We travel across rural communities in the Omo Valley looking for students who managed to complete high school. These students often got their start in schools like these. We then recruit and support students to pursue university education. 2/3 #nonprofit #philanthropy #Africa
