My experience with Deldey in Ethiopia was truly life-changing. From the moment I arrived, the team was warm, organized, and passionate about making a real difference in the community. The program offered the perfect balance between cultural immersion and meaningful volunteer work.
I loved engaging with local families, learning from the community, and seeing firsthand how small efforts can create lasting impact. Deldey’s coordinators were supportive throughout—always ensuring our safety, comfort, and learning.
What stood out most was the sense of purpose and connection I gained. Ethiopia’s culture is rich and welcoming, and Deldey provided the right environment to grow personally and professionally while contributing to something bigger.
I’d highly recommend Deldey to anyone looking for a genuine, impactful, and heartwarming experience in Ethiopia.
What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Injera , It was actually my first time trying it and I must say-10/10 especially when paired with meat and potato stew
What other participants should know

- Navigating the transport system before getting used to it
- If you are used to a hot weather you have to prepare for the difference.
