Service Along the Nile International (SN)

Service Along the Nile International (SN), formerly the Swiss Evangelical Nile Mission (SENM), brings over four decades of dedicated service to marginalized groups. Established in 1900 in Aswan, Egypt, the mission expanded its work across several Nile Basin countries, including Ethiopia.

SN began its operations in Ethiopia in 1962 in Adequala—now part of Eritrea—providing orphanage services, medical care, and rural development support. In 1982, SN established the Misrach Handicraft Training and Rehabilitation Center in Addis Ababa, offering vocational training, rehabilitation, and livelihood opportunities to thousands of persons with disabilities. In 1986, the Walga Health Center was established, providing essential health services that continue to this day.

In 2024, SN officially became a nationally registered NGO in Ethiopia, reinforcing its long-term commitment to inclusive development.
