Ethiopia

Ethiopia’s economy is based on agriculture. This sector has suffered from poor cultivation practices and frequent drought. In addition, the impact of HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia has been devastating. 2.2 million adults and 200,000 children are living with the virus - more than in any other country except South Africa and India.

World Renew is responding to the drought in Ethiopia through its partner Food for the Hungry International Ethiopia (FHI/E), implementing three new food assistance projects with a total budget of $2.6 million.

Also with FHI/E, World Renew is working to provide support for orphans and vulnerable children who have lost one or both parents and are suffering both socially and physically. This World Renew/Canadian Foodgrains Bank program will provide tutoring and school support, training and HIV/AIDS awareness, and daily food for these orphans and vulnerable children and their support families.

Help World Renew respond.
