Education for All

There are approximately 150,000 children living on the streets of Ethiopia – and 60,000 of those in Addis Ababa. More than half of these kids do not have access to shelter or adequate food. Read more!

Maternal Health

Ethiopia has one of the highest rates of maternal mortality in the world.  In a country of 102 million, there are less than 5,000 trained midwives. This results in only 16% of births taking place with a skilled attendant present.

Disabilities

An estimated one billion people in the world are living with disabilities. They are routinely denied their most basic human rights, and are cut off from education, employment, and healthcare. In Ethiopia, many live in extreme poverty. Read more! 

Women's Welfare

Women and girls in Ethiopia often face discrimination, gender-based violence, trafficking and child marriage that not only threaten their health and livelihood, but also compromise the well-being and opportunities of the next generation. Find out more!

What we do:

With your help we support projects in Ethiopia ranging from maternal health and women's welfare, to education and disabilities . We work for an Ethiopia free from poverty, in which every person has access to quality education, healthcare and a life of dignity.

Ethiopia has made huge strides forward since the devastation and despair of the famines during the 1980s. We continue to drive this progression and development further through our trusted partnerships, ensuring that no one is left behind.  If you want to learn more about the impact Ethiopiaid and our partners made during the last 6 months of 2018, please read our most recent newsletter.
