About Digital Opportunity Trust ethiopia

DOT Ethiopia is committed to creating a world shaped by young social innovators who have the tools, knowledge, and networks to create opportunities and transform their own communities.

We support youth to become innovators and leaders, and to create and apply digital solutions that have positive impact in their communities.



We work with youth, the private sector, governments, and community-based organizations towards a collaborative vision of communities shaped by daring social innovators.

DOT Ethiopia has been running youth-led programs focused on sustainable economic growth since 2009.
