121Ethiopia.org was founded by Olafur Eliasson and Marianne Krogh Jensen in 2005. It is a small organisation with no administrative staff, except for the voluntary board. The purpose of this simple structure is to ensure that all the money donated to the foundation goes solely to its projects in Ethiopia.
The board:
- Marianne Krogh Jensen, ph.D in Art History, Berlin/Copenhagen
- Olafur Eliasson, Artist, Berlin/Copenhagen
- Alexander Jolles, Lawyer, Zurich
- Günther Vogt, Landscape Architect, Zurich
