Art Aid


Why Art? 
Art is a tool for fundamental development and provides:
• Peer interaction
• A sense of independence
• Opportunity for self-expression & self-esteem
• Time for decision-making & self-evaluation
• Practice with hand-eye coordination
• Sensory exploration of environment 
.
Art Aid for Tesfa is a division of the Tesfa Foundation and has the vision of an Ethiopia liberated from poverty by empowering its youth through the whole-brain development that art provides. Art Aid seeks to help Ethiopian youth develop self-sustainability by teaching them creativity while funding their education.
