Guarding the Future: Bedellu's Role in Nurturing Student Success

By Eliza C. | Donor Relations Manager

Meet Bedellu, a janitor and guard at Felege Birhan School in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for the past eight years. This school stands out, with teachers dedicated not only to academics but also to building strong character in their students. Bedellu is an essential part of this mission, ensuring a safe and clean environment for over 700 students, allowing them to focus on their studies and personal growth.  

Bedellu shares"when I see the students enjoying their day and going home, I feel a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. I know that I have done my best to provide them with a safe environment. I also feel hopeful for their future, knowing that they have learned valuable skills and knowledge that will help them achieve their goals." 

In 2022, Splash joined Felege Birhan School, making water use efficient and teaching students and staff to value their equipment. Bedellu became an integral part of this transformation, receiving training to maintain the water infrastructure. Today, he’s not just a janitor, he’s a guardian of the future.  

Bedellu's role is a key part of Splash's overall model: janitors are integral to students' health and hygiene. The knowledge Bedellu has about how to fix and maintain infrastructure ensures the systems we install are sustainable so kids can access safe water for years to come.
