Robel is a 40-year-old economist and has his heart in the right place. In 2010, he was introduced by his mother Aynalem to the organisation. Starting from 2020, he takes over the position of General Manager in the Ethiopian operation. He has a good relationship with the children, and always takes their needs into account in order to let the organization grow. During the day he drives around to get supplies for the children. In the afternoon he helps the children with their homework, or he works in the office for the follow-up of the finances.
Robel is a busy bee, and his background as an economist comes in handy for the future of Let Us Change. Robel wants to invest in social entrepreneurship. With the expansion of the bakery and weaving mill, Let Us Change offers extra employment opportunities. Local poor people can enjoy cheaper rates and the organization becomes self-sufficient. In the long term, Robel wants to provide vocational training for the young people in the homes. Further more he wants to acquire as much resources as possible from the local social enterprises, to reinvest in the houses. In order to realise these plans, the local NGO is supported by the Belgian department of Let Us Change and the Italian NGO IPO.
