Ethiopia still faces challenges despite progress since the 1980s. Our focus is here, and our partnerships make a real impact on the most vulnerable.
Since 1989, we’ve built long-term relationships with trusted partners in Ethiopia. They provide regular reports, audited accounts, and are monitored during our yearly visits.
To donate by cheque, make it payable to Ethiopiaid and include your name and address. Mail to: Ethiopiaid Canada, 404 McArthur Ave, Room 200, Ottawa, Ontario, K1K 1G8. Specify donation use with a note if desired.
While we appreciate material donations like knitted blankets, consult us for current needs. We prefer to buy items locally in Ethiopia to boost the economy.

Please note, Ethiopiaid sends seven mailings per year. If you reduce your mailing frequency, you may not receive information on the topics and projects you’re most passionate about.
If there is a project or topic you’re passionate about and you are not receiving any information about this, please get in touch.
Due to our small team, Ethiopiaid cannot cater to bespoke requests outside the frequency options below:
For a tax receipt from Ethiopiaid Canada, a minimum donation of $20 is required. After processing your donation, we’ll send your tax receipt via email or mail, depending on your communication preferences. If you are missing your tax receipt, please fill our the contact form below.
For every $1 donated, $0.16 covers administration as per our 2022 Financial Statement & Annual Report
Since we were founded in 1989 Ethiopiaid has operated with a small and dedicated team. We always aim to keep our costs to a minimum. Follow the link to find out more about our costs in our most recent annual accounts
Fundraising enables us to give a voice to people and partners who might otherwise go unheard. The local organizations we partner with in Ethiopia work hard to reach the most marginalized, the forgotten and the vulnerable. We listen to their voices and provide funding so that they can save lives, transform futures and bring about positive change. Our supporters power this work and help people live better lives every day.
We do not send volunteers overseas. The work we support is managed by local Ethiopian organizations who mostly find the workers they need among the local population.
If you would like to see open volunteer opportunities, please visit our Job Vacancies page.
Yes! We have lots of materials, posters, donation forms and assistance that we would be happy to share. Please visit for downloadable materials available online. If you need more support, please email info@ethiopiaid.ca or use our contact form to let us know more about your fundraising idea(s) and requirements.
We encourage all our fundraisers to use the Ethiopiaid logo. Please contact info@ethiopiaid.ca to receive a copy for your event.
Please consult our Privacy Policy for information on data safety.
We are more than happy to remove your details from our mailing lists. Please note that all mailing list removals may take up to 28 days to complete. Since our mailings are planned for six weeks, there is a chance you’ll receive one final mailing after cancellation but please rest assured this will be the final one.
Unfortunately, in most cases, we cannot erase your details. We are required to keep all donation information for seven years, at which point it will be destroyed. This is due to CRA regulations. However, we can ensure that you will not hear from us in future.
The care and protection of the vulnerable is our top priority. We believe that regardless of age, gender, disability or ethnic origin everyone has the right to be protected from all forms of harm, abuse, neglect and exploitation. Ethiopiaid’s safeguarding policy is regularly reviewed. Every member of the board, staff, volunteers and anyone working on our behalf, has to commit to our safeguarding policy and code of conduct.
Please consult our Safeguarding Policy for more information.
Our Ethiopian partners have their safeguarding policies but we insist that they also understand and commit to Ethiopiaid’s policies. This is a condition of funding.
