Beletew Mengesha is the executive director of Voice of Wilderness Development Organization in Ethiopia. Beletew oversees over 18 different projects which includes schools, development programs and training for women. He receives funding from many organizations including embassies. The majority of the programs are for the Afar and Amhara which are unreached people groups with distinct cultures and language. Oakdale began their partnership with Voice of Wilderness in 2016 when we donated refurbished laptops to equip an entire computer lab for an Afar girl’s boarding school. Since then Oakdale has annually donated money which has supported the Afar, relief work from recent fighting and a center for disabled children.
