Never in the 60-year history of the school (located in the capital city of Tigrai, Mekelle, Ethiopia) has there been more of a need for support from alumni and friends. Within the past few decades, the number of students joining the school has escalated. At the same time, the corresponding total budget per student has dwindled and the cost of running the school has substantially increased. Despite these challenges, students as well as teachers of the school are confronting their daily school works by overcoming equally difficult circumstances.

In recognition of these difficult challenges faced by Atse Yohannes School, AYAA became a reality on January 11th, 2003 when a group of alumni set to begin a well-deserved support mechanism to their alma mater. AYAA is an independent, non-political, non-profit and non-governmental association that provides a vital link between the Atse Yohannes School and private donors (alumni, parents, friends of the school) whose gifts facilitate educational programming and student opportunity in the school. AYAA supports the school’s efforts to maintain, preserve and improve institutional quality.
