Wubishet Girmaw

In-Country Director, One Love Academy

Wubishet always dreamed of helping people, especially children. After moving to Addis Ababa from the countryside of Ethiopia, Wube earned a degree from St. Mary University. He was quickly drawn to help the children of the economically challenged area of Shiromeda and partnered with One Love to open One Love Academy in 2016.

“It takes a lot to make a school great and special. I am motivated by a love for the school climate, the beautiful staff, and the community involvement.”

In his free time, Wube enjoys reading, learning new things from the internet, walking, and spending time with his wife and two children.
