What we do

Meskot Education is dedicated to empowering war-affected children in Tigray, Ethiopia.

Our mission is rooted in providing free, quality education to those who need it most. To achieve this, Meskot focuses on four core tasks:

Free Quality Education

Meskot provides free, accessible, and quality video lessons in Tigrinya.

Accelerated Learning

Curriculum-aligned video resources to help students catch up on missed education.

Teacher Training

Practical guidance for trauma healing, emotional resilience, and accelerated learning techniques.

Engaging Parents and Communities

Through awareness campaigns, workshops, and support groups, we empower families to motivate their children to use our videos for self-regulated learning.

Kemey(ኸመይ), my name is Desta Abreha. I’m the founder of Meskot Education.

As a proud Tigriyan myself, I was fortunate to receive a free education at Mekelle Institute of Technology(Kellamino) that was made possible through the contributions of the Tigray diaspora.
This has motivated me to give back and ensure that every child in Tigray, regardless of their circumstances, has access to quality learning resources and a brighter future.

I hold a B.Sc. in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Mekelle Institute of Technology, an institution that stands as a testament to the dedication of Tigray's hardworking people. My education there not only equipped me with knowledge but also instilled in me a profound sense of purpose. With over 10 years of valuable managerial experience and the honor of being recognized as a 2019 Mandela Washington Fellow by the U.S. State Department, I am deeply committed to advancing Meskot Education's mission and making a meaningful contribution to my community.

I envision Meskot Education as a catalyst for transformative change in Tigray. By providing quality education resources and nurturing resilience in war-affected children, we aim to empower future generations. With the support of the global Tigriyan community worldwide, we will continue to expand our reach and impact, ensuring that education remains a beacon of hope for all.
