Health
Many of the diseases that afflict some the poorest people on earth in Ethiopia are avoidable. In the developed world, polio is virtually eradicated but it still kills or paralyses children in Ethiopia. Fistulas - an injury sustained during childbirth which renders a woman permanently incontinent - can be easily prevented or repaired through modern surgery, but they still consign women to a lifetime of misery in Ethiopia.
Each year, our Health projects help thousands of people. We are working not just to heal people, but to prevent these terrible diseases and conditions from happening at all. We'd like to see an Ethiopia with decent healthcare that is available to everyone - with your help we can achieve this.
Supporting Ethiopiaid could help save a life or rescue somebody from a lifetime of suffering. You can explore our health projects' work using the links below.
