It is with profound sorrow that I offer my heartfelt condolences on the passing of your beloved father and founder of Ethiopiaid Sir Alec Reed. His departure marks the loss of an extraordinary human being whose compassion, vision, and unwavering dedication transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands people across Ethiopia.
Through his remarkable leadership and boundless generosity, he brought hope and dignity to destitute families, women, children with disabilities, and the elderly—those who needed it most. His legacy is not only reflected in the countless lives uplifted by his work, but also in the enduring spirit of humanity and service he leaves behind.
Reaching the age of 90, he lived a life of purpose, courage, and deep empathy—an inspiring example to all who had the privilege of knowing him or witnessing the impact of his mission. May his memory continue to shine as a beacon of compassion for generations to come.
At this difficult time, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. May you find strength, comfort, and peace in the legacy he built and the immeasurable good he brought into the world.
With deepest sympathy,
– Dr Girma Ababi Board Chair & Fasil Ayele Executive Director Cheshire Ethiopia
