Over the past decade, you have helped us bring clean water and education to rural Ethiopian communities who were at the margins of society. These amazing men and women have stepped up and transformed themselves against all odds, and we feel it is essential that we do whatever we can to help them prepare for the pandemic.
COVID-19 is expected to be more deadly in places like Ethiopia where there is already high levels of poverty and inequalities including malnutrition, poor health, water and sanitation infrastructure & services, and unequal access to information.
We are working with our partners here in Canada and in Ethiopia to put together an emergency COVID-19 response plan.
