Changing minds, changing behavior

We believe that raising awareness about heritage preservation is an essential priority and responsibility for all Ethiopians
In the face of heritage, the rights of posterity were more important than the desires of the present. 
---John Muir 

OUR GOAL

To tell the untold stories of urban Ethiopia threatened by rapid development

Our Priorities

Building Partnerships
We create and host training sessions and workshops for diverse audiences, from architects, urban planners, artists and historians. These activities contribute to knowledge sharing and media publishing projects on heritage preservation skills and strategies for the African context.
Designing Tools

Virtual tours, digital maps, place markers, accessible historical data on heritage sites---these are just a few of the ways that HW contributes to knowledge gaps for local and international tourists.
Developing Youth Leaders
HW is focused on making heritage relevant, personal and accessible for young Ethiopians. School clubs, inter-African consortium of heritage professionals and employment young professionals as project consultants are few ways we do this.
