The Kabod Name

The word "Kabod" carries profound meanings, including substance, strength, power, honor, dignity, and glory. These values, drawn from biblical principles, reflect the foundation of our mission to empower Ethiopia’s youth to lead with Christian faith and integrity.

Our History

Inspired by a vision to combine faith and education, Dr. Tamrat founded Kabod University to provide a platform where Christian values are deeply embedded in every aspect of learning and leadership development.
