<div><br />

</div>

<div>For 100 years, Tafari Makonnen School (TMS), established by Regent Ras Tafari Makonnen (later Emperor Haile Selassie), has been more than a place of learning - it served as a home, a beacon of hope, and a foundation for dreams of generations of Ethiopians.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Amidst every challenge and triumph, its name has come to embody pride, resilience, and the transformative power of education.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>After years of unwavering effort, the Tafari Makonnen name was restored, honoring the legacy of those who paved the way and embracing the promise held by future generations.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>To commemorate this momentous milestone, TMSAA will construct a four-story Multi-Purpose building that will serve as a vibrant hub for current students and will stand as a lasting tribute to TMS's legacy. It will inspire future generations of alumni to excel in their chosen fields, just as TMS alumni have excelled in the past. It will be a central gathering place for students, alumni, and the broader community.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Picture a place where young minds are nurtured, success stories are celebrated, and the spirit of TMS flourishes.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>We cannot achieve this major initiative alone. We need YOU:</strong>

</div>

<div>• TMS Alumni who carry forward the school’s spirit,

</div>

<div>• TMS Friends who believe in its mission, and

</div>

<div>• The General Public that values education's lasting impact.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every contribution - big or small - becomes a brick in this dream, paving the way for a legacy that will inspire generations for the next hundred years.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Join us. Give from your heart and help Tafari Makonnen School (TMS).
