About us

Who We Are

Restoring Land. Empowering Communities. Sustaining Life.

Since 2000, SUNARMA has been at the forefront of natural resource management in Ethiopia, bridging the gap between environmental restoration and community prosperity.

SUNARMA works in rural Ethiopia amongst farmers who live in areas that are food insecure.

SUNARMA stands for  Sustainable Natural Resource Management Association and as its name implies seeks sustainable solutions to the challenges of rural Ethiopia.

SUNARMA’s vision is for a stable and productive environment with stable and productive people. SUNARMA was set up by a group of Ethiopian professionals in Addis Abba in 2000, its is a registered NGO.

SUNARMA has a membership know as the General Assembly that includes rural farmers as well as Ethiopian professionals from many backgrounds and skills. SUNARMA has a UK organisation of the same name who are registered with  the UK Charity Commission.

We currently have three main projects across Ethiopia in three regional states, working with rural farmers to improve food production and income and creating a productive countryside.   Please take a look at our projects tab.
