Today we introduce you to another member of the Fundraising Team, Marianne:

What is your background?

Selam,

My name is Marianne!

Before joining PROJECT-E I completed my Bachelors in International Relations and worked for the past two years as a program coordinator in the field of academic exchange at an organization in Germany. As my job was also in the field of education it is especially interesting for me to observe a different cultural perspective of how people work in a similar field.

What is your involvement with PROJECT-E?

I am working in the Fundraising department of PROJECT-E and currently I am volunteering on site, at the PEHI house in Addis Ababa. Being half Ethiopian – half German, it is nice to explore and learn more about my family’s roots and culture.

What are you passionate about?

I am very passionate about female empowerment and sustainable development. Moreover, I love to travel to learn and understand more about cultures and diversity. In my free time you can usually find me on my yoga mat, in a ballet studio or on a climbing wall.
