Apart from the great needs as indicated above, we have many shared values with Ethiopia:
- Independent spirit. Ethiopia was only colonised for a short period so its people are proud and dignified.
 - Have a culture of self-help, even in poverty
 - Place a high value on learning and education. 
 - Are quick to make the most of the advantages we offer
 - Acknowledge and support the importance of demonstrating transparency of accounting. 
 
In purely pragmatic terms, these shared values make projects relatively easy to implement.
