What are our Dreams and Purposes?

We are an institution born of the people,

sponsored by their sacrifice,

financed by their faith,

and run by their unyielding hands of African descent.

We believe in the promise of Ethiopia,

its soil, its spirit, its eternal flame.

Ethiopia, cradle of hope,

beacon of tomorrow,

we salute you!

Thank you, Ethiopia,

for being the ground where vision the black people takes root,

for being the sky where the destiny of the black people ascends.
