The strategic plan for the Ethiopian Kale Heywet Church Sebeta Excellence Center focuses on holistic development from 2025 to 2035. The plan emphasizes enhancing community livelihoods by conducting needs assessments and establishing partnerships with local entities. For instance, developing sustainable agricultural projects and implementing microfinance initiatives aim to empower small businesses and improve financial literacy within the community.
The strategy also includes enhancing training and skills development by partnering with educational institutions and offering ICT training to improve digital literacy. Language courses and vocational training align community skills with market demands, supported by internships and mentorship programs to guide career planning.
Fostering children and youth care is another critical strategy, ensuring a safe environment, regular health check-ups, and nutritional programs. This involves creating leadership programs and engaging volunteers for mentorship, promoting holistic development in children and youth.
Developing infrastructure is also prioritized, with plans to enhance classroom facilities, expand health services, and improve sanitation. Securing funding through grants for these initiatives will support long-term community transformation. Solar panels and recreational facilities ensure sustainability and community engagement.
