The mission of Baalu Girma Foundation is to empower journalists and creative writers. The Foundation believes that the creative writing and journalism disciplines play vital roles in our lives: creative writers help enrich our imagination and add to our understanding of the human experience while journalists present us with accurate and reliable information upon which we can make informed decisions - to mention a few reasons. By working with creative writers, journalists, or aspiring students who need important resources, we believe we are in a unique position to make a difference.
