CREATING LASTING CHANGE FROM WITHIN

For an Ethiopia
free from
obstetric fistula

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.

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.

the poverty line

agriculture and highly
susceptible to drought
and climate impact

Literacy

start a monthly 
 donation for lasting impact

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.
