Rooted in Legacy
Yetarik Adera, a local aid organization, was established in December 2022 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Yetarik Adera is a historical institution devoted to the study and preservation of Ethiopia’s journey toward modernization from 1930 to 1974. Through our collection of artifacts, books, documents, and films, we honor the sacrifices and celebrate the accomplishments of the nation’s Imperial government officials, ensuring their legacy continues to inspire future generations.
Yetarik Adera is actively collecting historical photographs, memoirs, and documents belonging to these individuals and is working to organize and share this history in an educational and museum-quality manner. In addition, it supports individuals and organizations that wish to write about these histories by providing documentation and access to personal archives in a collaborative and supportive way.It is widely known and accepted that Emperor Haile Selassie’s era played a foundational role in shaping modern Ethiopia. Through the expansion of education, the development of banking services, air transport, roads, and railway lines, that period significantly contributed to the building of Ethiopia through knowledge and labor. Therefore, this organization was founded to preserve and pass on that historic era to future generations.
