About us

Siiqqee Women's Development Association (SWDA) was founded in 1997 by a committed Ethiopian woman with the strong conviction that poor women can control their livelihoods and their futures when assisted in their self-help efforts and ultimately empowered.

Our organization got a Certificate of Registration from the Ministry of Justice in 1997. According to the new legislation of Charities and Societies in Ethiopia, SWDA is re-registered as an Ethiopian Resident Charity in October 2009. After re-registration, it has revised its vision and mission. Currently, SWDA had renewed its license up to 2019.
