The pilot prototype hostel was built in Tigrai, South-Eastern zone, Seharti-Samre district. This prototype project was designed to meet the needs of high school girls, including extracurricular activities, creativity and critical thinking. The center was meant to be community and hostel residents owned and therefore one step closer to be sustained. Every thinking and effort has been invested to make this project self-sustained and replicable.

The success story led to another opportunity. Before the launch of Beri Maida Girls Hostel, the Tigrai women's association had built a hostel with the same purpose in Hagere Selam, 50 Km north of Mekelle, capital of the Tigrai region. Somehow it did not go as planned and BMBH was invited to take over and manage it. The handover was done in 2020 and work to accept students completed. Unfortunately, the war in Tigrai broke out on November 2020, the time the organizations began the process of recruiting students and school was interrupted since then.
