Gugut Growth Center was established with a mission to redefine how children in Ethiopia engage with learning beyond traditional academics. We believe that while formal education lays the foundation, children also need space to explore, move, create, and build the skills necessary for the 21st century.
At Gugut, we offer a full-day, skill-building environment that combines physical activity, creativity, and hands-on exploration. Whether through swimming, football, arts, or STEM-based innovation, each program is intentionally designed to nurture personal growth, critical thinking, and transferable life skills—empowering children to thrive in a dynamic, evolving world.
We create a dynamic learning environment where students explore diverse perspectives, engage with cutting-edge technology, and develop the skills to address complex global challenges.
