Overview
How we are different, Ethiopia aid is an efficient and effective charity raising funds for trusted community partners in Ethiopia. We work with local people, valued for their expertise, honesty and ambition. We are experienced. We have been working in Ethiopia for 28 years, supporting local organizations to use their initiative and skill to make a real difference in their country. We are efficient. Our office space is kindly donated, which helps keep our overheads to a minimum. In the UK, we have a small team (four people) that run the charity. We ensure that our admin costs are extremely low so that more of your money goes directly to our projects in Ethiopia. We are focused. We know our strengths and our limitations. We do not promise to change the world, or even all of Ethiopia. What we do know from firsthand experience is that our partners make the biggest difference in their local communities. Our vision is an Ethiopia free from poverty, in which every person has access to quality education, healthcare and a life of dignity. We fund projects to support maternal health, FGM, empowering women and girls, education, people living with disabilities and the elderly. Ethiopia has made huge strides forward since the devastation and despair of the famines during the 1980s. Our work recognizes that Ethiopians are determined and dedicated with exceptional entrepreneurial spirit. We drive further progression and development in Ethiopia, by tapping into this talent and working with trusted organizations that hold the answers and solutions to the problems that still exist today.
