The 26th Annual Shashamane Foundation Benefit Dinner

For more than 26 years, the Shashamane Foundation has partnered with the Jamaican Rastafarian Development Community (JRDC) to provide quality, affordable education to children in Shashamane, Ethiopia.

What began as a small community-led vision has grown into a thriving elementary school serving nearly 500 students each year and employing dedicated teachers and staff who are shaping the next generation of leaders.

Today, the Foundation provides approximately 60% of the school's annual operating support, helping ensure students continue to receive a quality education regardless of their family's ability to pay.

Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the remarkable legacy built over the last 26 years while investing in the future of the JRDC School.
