Sedika

Sedika is a small town in central Ethiopia. Located in the Arsi Zone of the Oromia Region, it is one of two towns in Robe District. It is named after the clan of the Arsi Oromo who lived there. It is the town center for many local divisions surrounding it. Sedika is located approximately 233 km in the south east of Addis Ababa. It had only secondary school but recently got upgraded to 10th grade. Many children in the local drop out of school due to the difficult life there, mainly those living in the lower land, who depend on farming have less access to education.

This area of Arsi is known for its crop production in addition to animal grazing. The lack of market access for their products has affected the livelihood of many farmers and they live in very bad situation even if they are working hard.
