The computers are expected to give students access to computer-based learning and exposure to digital technologies, preparing them for modern educational and professional environments.
Over the years, Sebeta Nunnery has played a role in providing shelter, education and vocational training for vulnerable children, including orphans. A total of 150 students benefit from the elementary and preparatory school programs, under the nunnery’s educational and social-support mission.
The new digital resources are expected to enhance their learning experience and help bridge the gap between traditional education and digital literacy.
This initiative reflects a broader vision: that church-affiliated schools and monastic institutions can remain relevant and effective amid changing times, offering quality education and practical skills that help students thrive in a modern, connected world.
Since its founding in 1972, EOTC-DICAC has supported a wide range of church-affiliated institutions across Ethiopia, including monasteries, nunneries, schools and community-service projects.
