LETTER FROM THE EXPANSION TEAM


“It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.”

We have started our term in July 2011 with this quote, completely anaware of what could have happened all along the year but strong of our believe: AIESEC would have been a successfull and impactful organization in Ethiopia.

We have come from 4 different countries to establish the National Office of the world largest student run organization to offer new opportunites to Ethiopian youth to become globally minded positive change agents for their society.

In one year we have brought AIESEC in Ethiopia to be the driver of growth of AIESEC in Africa, attracting more then 50 international studetns to volunteer here but also sending the best talents to represent their Country in international Conferences. We have supported universities to develop international relations and offering to their studetns international internship abroad.

We have been dreamer, hard worker and achievers thanks to the hundreds of Ethiopian youth who have accepted the challenge to make AIESEC a reality for their Country.

We thanks all the organizations, universities and individuals who have always supported us, as well as all the ones who have challenged our work. Thanks to them AIESEC is now legal, sustainable and driver of growth for youth and for the Country.
