Our Story

NUNUYE Charity was established on May 8th, 2019 by her family members gathered to commemorate the one-year remembrance of Mahlet Teklu (known by family and friends as Nunu) who tragically succumbed to breast cancer after a long fight. Nunu’s positive force of nature impacted everyone around her with her strength and optimism, her kindness and love, as well as her infectious smile and vibrant personality.

Nunu’s inspiration has transcended the span of her meaningful but short life. Nunu’s vivacious nature galvanized and propelled family and friends (from her hometowns of Mekelle and Addis Ababa in Ethiopia to her second hometown of Rome, Italy) to create a charitable organization to continue her legacy.

The charity’s focus is enabling communities to empower themselves by giving children access to education (Set-up Computer centers for orphanage and under served communities), renovate schools and provide educational supplies, provide basic needs (such as sanitary pads to school girls so they don’t miss schools). We also provide feeding programs to schools and elderly centers so that they get proper nutrition to stay healthy.
