A breakthrough year in Benishangul-Gumuz.

Ethiopia saw our fastest education expansion in 2025, anchored by the new Pharo School Assosa campus and the standout results of Homosha Girls’ Boarding School.

Our schools sit alongside the BEAP programme and computer-assisted learning, which lifted public-school results dramatically. On the productivity side, the edible oil plant in Debre Birhan is commissioned and the Pharo Health diagnostic venture is moving into operation.

Combined enrolment across Pharo Schools now stands as one of the largest non-state education footprints in the region.

PDCS / Assosa, Ethiopia
PDCS / Assosa, Ethiopia

Pharo opened the market.

When Pharo Diagnostic and Clinical Services opened in Assosa, we expected to fill a gap. We did. We also did something we did not plan for: private clinics moved in behind us. The market for clinical care in Benishangul-Gumuz now has more providers than it did before we arrived. That is the kind of catalytic outcome our 2025 to 2035 strategy is built to repeat.
