The Salesian Mission of Adwa, called Kidane Mehret, was created at the end of 1994.
When Sister Laura Girotto was called to fund the Mission in Ethiopia, she looked for help in Italy and she found an important support in Cento (near Ferrara), where Amici di Adwa Association was created to raise funds.
Despite starting from nothing, the mission now offers the people KG, primary, middle, high, and technical school, advancement of women, social and medical services, food and milk; a true miracle, the result of the generosity of thousands of people.
