Breaking the Mold: Harambee University Empowers the Community with Infrastructure Research and Academic Excellence

Traditionally, the image of paved roads conjures up visions of government projects, remote from the lives of ordinary citizens. However, Harambee University is shattering this paradigm, stepping up to support communities in reclaiming ownership of their own infrastructure. In a bold move, Harambee University tackled the challenge of accessibility in Gada Kebele, Adama City Administration. Recognizing the need for improved pedestrian pathways, the university went beyond mere maintenance and constructed a brand-new 500-meter cobblestone road. This initiative exemplifies a shift in mindset. It demonstrates that community development is not solely a top-down process, but thrives on collaborative efforts. By actively contributing to infrastructure projects, Harambee University empowers residents to take ownership of their surroundings and fosters a sense of shared responsibility. But the university's commitment extends beyond paving the way. Recognizing the importance of security and accountability, Harambee University donated and installed a security camera in both the Mayor's office and the Prosperity Party office. This proactive contribution enhances transparency and promotes safe spaces for public engagement. The impact of these initiatives resonated throughout the community. As a token of appreciation, the Mayor bestowed an award upon Mr. Feyissa Ararssa, the CEO of Harambee University, acknowledging the university's dedication to improving the lives of Gada Kebele residents. Investing approximately 3,000,000.00 Birr, Harambee University has created a ripple effect of progress.
