Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>The Addis Ababa City Administration\u2019s Community Participation and Voluntarism Coordination Commission has announced that preparations have been finalized to deliver volunteer services worth 6.5 billion Birr in the capital.<\/p>\n

The 2025 summer volunteer program was officially launched by Mayor of Addis Ababa, Adanech Abiebie, on June 14, 2025.<\/p>\n

It is to be recalled that the mayor previously announced a plan to construct and renovate 2,500 houses within 90 days during this Ethiopian rainy season.<\/p>\n

Head of the Commission Yimer Kebede stated that adequate preparations have been made to implement the volunteer service program under the theme \u201cVolunteering for Community Change.\u201d He noted that a wide range of activities will be carried out as part of the initiative.<\/p>\n

In addition to house renovation and construction, the volunteer services will include blood donation, communal meal-sharing, planting of seedlings, traffic support services, summer supplementary classes, and other community-focused activities, all contributing to the 6.5 billion Birr estimated value.<\/p>\n

According to the Commission, over 2.2 million volunteers are expected to participate, benefiting more than 800,000 residents of the city.<\/p>\n

First Vice President of the Addis Ababa Youth Association, Tekeste Ayalew, also emphasized that the association has planned to engage 70,000 youth in this year\u2019s volunteer efforts.<\/p>\n

So far, over 50,000 youth have registered, including 3,000 graduates from higher education institutions, he added.<\/p>\n

He added that many of these youth volunteers are playing a vital role in raising public awareness about the city\u2019s ongoing corridor development projects.<\/p>\n

The volunteer service program, which runs until October 10, 2025, comprises 15 major components aimed at promoting community well-being and civic participation.<\/p>\n
