Ethiopian Catholic Church of Salesians of Don Bosco Ethiopia

The Salesians of Don Bosco (SDB) began their work in Ethiopia in 1975. They were legally registered under the Ethiopian Catholic Church Social and Development Commission by the Ethiopian Residents Charity with registration number 0756.

We now have a well-established presence in Ethiopia and have been operating in five regions of Ethiopia:

• Tigray Regional State (Adigrat, Adwa, Mekelle, and Shire) 
• Gambella Regional State (Gambella and Punido)
•  Southern Nations National People Regional State (Soddo and Dilla town)
•  Oromia Regional State Zway (Adamitulu and  Debre Zeit towns)
•  Addis Ababa City Administration with  three Centers/Communities (Don Bosco Mekanissa, Bosco Children Jemo)

From 1975. till now, SDB has carried out different activities and projects targeting all kinds of youth issues. With providing education and a safe place we were able to protect their basic needs and aid in their development giving them a chance for a childhood instead of being just numbers.
