About Ethiopiaid
Ethiopiaid aims to create lasting and positive change in Ethiopia by tackling the problems of poverty, ill health and poor education.
As a fundraising organisation, we donate directly to local community projects in Ethiopia. These partners already hold the answers, they simply need a helping hand to carry out their work from people like you.
Ethiopiaid was founded in 1989 by Professor Alec Reed (Chairman of the Reed Recruitment Family of Companies), who visited Ethiopia in the late 1980's and was incredibly moved by the suffering he saw there. Under the patronage of Reed Executive, Ethiopiaid was established to give everyone the opportunity to make a difference.
We are the only UK Charity to focus efforts solely in Ethiopia. By doing so, we aim to achieve a real difference for those in desperate need by providing vital solutions to the daily hardships being faced. Prevention is the ultimate cure – as such we believe that building people's capacity to help themselves is of great importance if sustainable change is to be made.
To date, Ethiopiaid has donated over £17 million to partner projects in Ethiopia. Currently we are working with 19 dedicated partner projects and we aim to donate approximately £2 million to these deserving causes each year. Poverty and hardship in Ethiopia is still extreme but with your help we can continue to give hope for the future to a country with a tragic past.
