Ethiopian Christmas: a time of reflection, community & hope

On 7 January, millions of people in Ethiopia celebrate Genna, Ethiopian Christmas. It is a time of reflection, community and hope.

As families come together to celebrate Genna, we are reminded that hope is strongest when it is shared and that lasting change begins with caring for women and children.

From all of us at GreenLamp, we wish everyone celebrating a peaceful and hopeful Genna.

💚
