Since 2020 Ethiopia has suffered a series of devastating crisis. Prolonged droughts, the pandemic and rising global inflation have been compounded by the political instability and violent conflict. This has left thousands of people facing displacement, loss of livelihoods and widespread hunger and malnutrition. Throughout the conflict, the destruction of infrastructure has been widespread, in turn preventing adequate crisis response.
Our Emergency and Recovery Fund is delivering vital relief to crisis affected communities. The fund allows our partner organisations to plan their work knowing that there will be ongoing support to sustain them.
Together we’re making a difference but we need your help more than ever.
“Seeing 30,000 people, the sound, the smell, the reality of that many people in one area – the population of a whole town in the UK all displaced, separated from loved ones, homes, friends, their belongings – was heartbreaking.
The reality of how much these communities have suffered, and the immense task now to re-build may seem insurmountable. But amid it all, our partners are there working to bring relief one person at a time.”
– Lisa Cousins, Ethiopiaid CEO visiting IDP camp in Debre Birhan
Despite a signed peace agreement in November 2022, communities across Ethiopia continue to face immense suffering as they embark on their fragile transition from violent conflict to recovery.
Our partners are reaching people who cannot access aid, in places where other humanitarian agencies have not been able to travel to.
