Philanthropy

“We are very pleased to support Ethiopiaid because we have met, trust and like the people who work for the charity and we think the projects they back in Ethiopia are life changing. We have visited Ethiopia twice with Ethiopiaid and have seen some of the projects first hand – we have seen the need, and seen it met. Ethiopiaid builds partnerships with local agencies rather than just parachuting in resources. We also know that they check that their funds are spent as intended. We are proud to be supporters.”

“From the first time I found Ethiopiaid, and I can’t remember how, I have felt that I can trust Ethiopiaid, I have noticed how they get results and make a real difference. At first it was about fistula, something that destroys whole lives, and yet a single procedure can fix it and give back that whole life. Years and years of life. Ethiopiaid have since expanded into education and the roots of many other problems. I think the way it operates by supporting local partner organisations is very effective.”

"Visiting beautiful Ethiopia and Ethiopiaid’s partners was a wonderful privilege. We met children and young women whose lives have been transformed by the work of dedicated carers, teachers, medical staff and volunteers. Despite some truly awful life experiences, these children remain cheerful and positive. The partners’ work can only continue with our funding and seeing it for myself made me understand the impact our contribution makes. I will continue to support the work and hope to visit again...”
