First and for the most, the members of the Ethio Scandinavians for GERD would like to express the highest appreciation for the effort done by Ethiopian Eclectic Power, Zemen bank and Chapa Financial Technologies S.C., in making this donation platform a reality!

The Ethio Scandinavian group originates and is a scale up of the former group known as Ebenezer GERD; initially from Gothenburg, second capital of Sweden and surrounding cities. Until this point, the group has been donating on monthly basis, with a fixed amount through the Ethiopian Embassy for Nordic countries in Stockholm Sweden. The group has also received a recognition and thankyou letter, signed by H.E. Ambassador Deriba Kuma, for this effort of monthly contribution done so far.

Now when we have this very straight forward means of donation platform, with less administration and cost, we have decided to use it for the same purpose. In general, as a target group we primarily limit us within the Scandinavian countries; hence the new name of the group. However, as for this specific campaign, it is open to donate for anyone who wishes to do so.

Parallel to the donation campaign the Ethio Scandinavian is also looking forward to finding a reliable and easy means of purchasing bond from abroad, to support GERD; this we believe increases sense of ownership to higher level. We will inform our findings as an update here in future.

Last but not least, it is almost needless to say that Ethiopia's and the destiny of the future generation is hanging on how determined we all are to ensuring the completion of this mega project GERD. Unlike any other international mega projects, most of the rest of the world has clearly and loudly spoken that Ethiopia shall not expect any financial support or loan. When Ethiopia started this project years ago, we said in that case we will do it without any international financial support, By then the world didn't understand that the Ethiopian people really meant it. Well, we are almost there now and close to finish it !

Every single penny of your donation goes direct to the project; without any remittance transactions fee and alike (will be covered by Zemen bank). You may read more here at this link: https://mygerd.com/page/about-mygerd

Yes it is our dam! let us finish it and bring our people out of darkness and lift our continent Africa!

May God bless and protect our people!.
