Message from the Ambasssador


Dear Ethiopian and Ethiopian friends

The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam will be a boon to Ethiopia and the Horn region and beyond. GERD will more than double Ethiopia’s power capacity, which will create hundreds of thousands of jobs and business opportunities. We will be able to generate huge foreign exchange form sale of surplus power.

Our mothers who spend time gathering firewood will be able to engage in major development projects, improve their health status and raise their children with safety and security.

We proudly built the GERD with our own money, with the contribution of all Ethiopians. Diaspora Ethiopians have long sought to make their contributions to the GERD but were unable to do so for different reasons. We have recently opened a special embassy account for all Ethiopians in the U.S. to deposit their contributions.

Payments can be made by direct transfer, PayPal or personal check payable to “Ethiopian Embassy for GERD/Abay”. We thank all donors in advance.

Let us demonstrate as a nation and people that in the face of adversity, we rise to the challenge of confronting the Coronavirus, united by our responsibility to the home we call Ethiopia!

Electric power to the Ethiopian people.

Thank you,

Ambassador Fitsum Arega
