Residents of Addis Ababa have been urged to actively engage in a digital telethon organized to raise 50 million Birr for the implementation of the ‘Clean Ethiopia’ campaign, initiated by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. The initiative, aimed at modernizing public sanitation facilities in the city, holds significant importance in the ongoing efforts to elevate Addis Ababa to international standards.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed had previously unveiled plans to construct modern, clean, and dignified public restrooms, with a strong emphasis on community involvement in the construction process.
Addis Ababa City Mayor, Adanech Abiebie, emphasized the importance of this initiative in accelerating the city’s modernization efforts during a recent address.
“The initiative is crucial to accelerate the efforts being carried out to modernize the city to meet international standards,” stated Mayor Adanech Abiebie.
She called upon the residents to actively participate in the ongoing fundraising campaign to ensure the effective implementation of the initiative.
The fundraising campaign includes a digital telethon, scheduled for today, aimed at raising 50 million Birr within a ten-hour period.
Ethiopians, both within the country and abroad, have already begun providing financial support to facilitate the project’s implementation.
“This campaign presents a great opportunity to involve all Ethiopians, including those living abroad in the diaspora, members of the international community residing in Addis Ababa, and friends of Ethiopia,” Mayor Adanech remarked.
