The Miriam Beza Memorial Foundation is convinced that youth are the backbone of a nation, and strongly believe that they should be supported and guided in the right knowledge by introducing them to books at an early age, and developing in them a love for reading.  The Miriam Beza Memorial Foundation is confident that improving young people’s reading skills would improve their academic performance as well.

​

In 2007, as part of the ministry of Youth for Christ/Ethiopia, the Miriam Beza Memorial Library established in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.  The children's library is equipped with more than 20,000 books, games and puzzles and has become a place for fun, homework and reading.  The library also provides students one meal daily.

​

The Miriam Beza Memorial Library still has much to accomplish.  With your help, we can instill in children a love of reading and  honor our precious Miriam’s life by giving to those who do not need much and are so grateful for the little they receive.
