The Adey Abeba flower is indigenous to Ethiopia and blooms in September during the start of the Ethiopian New Year. In Ethiopia, the yellow color of the Adey Adeba flower is a symbol of peace, harmony, and love. The flower itself symbolizes the new beginnings, hope, and choices we strive to give to the girls by investing in their education.
