You can help some of the most vulnerable people on Earth
We’ve teamed up with local, grassroots organizations, run by Ethiopians for Ethiopians. Every time you donate, you directly help local people, programs and communities. Together, this is how we can make a lasting difference in the lives of the most vulnerable.
Through education, you can help put an end to dangerous female genital mutilation and child marriage.
Why Ethiopia?
While Ethiopia has made considerable progress since the famine and devastation of the 1980s, the poorest and most marginalized are being left behind. We need your help to break this cycle of poverty and bring back health and hope to those who are most in need.
Poverty
More than one quarter of the population live below
the poverty line
Subsistence
Highly dependent on
agriculture and highly
susceptible to drought
and climate impact
Literacy
Almost 50% of the
population is illiterate
Child Mortality
1 in 21 children die before
the age of 5
Each month you can help to make sure women and children have enough to eat, can go to school and can access good quality healthcare.
Hope of Light Fistula Appeal “She told me that she is not able to control her urine and I realised that was why she was unhappy … she told me that it would have been better if she died.”– Addisu*, Meseret’s husband Death or a life-destroying injury called obstetric fistula.
For each of our partners, recovery will mean something different. It might mean rebuilding their facilities which have been lost or damaged, re-connecting community groups or establishing new initiatives to help build long-term resilience.
In the heart of Oromia, Ethiopia, lies a story of resilience and hope embodied by a young boy named Beyene Merga Tolera.
