“Self-help is the quintessence of community development programmes. It is therefore essential that initiative and desire for improvement should emanate from the people and not be superimposed from outside. It is however the primary task of community development workers to motivate the people to cross barriers of apathy and helplessness.”

All the endeavors of the Haile Selassie I Foundation involve uplifting the living standards of the people spiritually, socially and materially. Our Community Development Ministry has been liaising the efforts of all the departments so that through the work and education programs on the farm in social gatherings and through media, we seek to enhance community cohesion and awareness.
We continue to work with Government and development agencies to address the needs identified by the various local communities and build capacity of the people, especially the youth. Part of this coordination involves organizing public gatherings and forums where people can exchange ideas and methods of implementation. The rural communities have been especially receptive to our presence.
With the youth, we continue to nurture the spirit of selfless volunteering as there is no better satisfaction or enduring achievement than working for the common good of all.
