Emergency Support
Strategic Pillars of Action
Our humanitarian strategy focuses on rapid mobilization and the protection of the most vulnerable during times of upheaval. We utilize an integrated approach that addresses immediate survival needs while simultaneously laying the groundwork for community resilience and future stability.
We provide immediate assistance, including food, water, and non-food items, to families displaced by conflict and natural disasters across Ethiopia’s most vulnerable, crisis-affected regional states.
We prioritize the safety of women and children in emergency settings, establishing protection systems and providing psychosocial support to survivors of displacement and conflict-related trauma.
We deliver urgent nutrition interventions to combat acute malnutrition among children and mothers, ensuring life-saving specialized care reaches those in hard-to-reach and crisis-affected rural areas.
We bridge the gap between relief and development by rehabilitating damaged infrastructure and restoring livelihoods, enabling disaster-affected communities to rebuild their lives and achieve self-reliance.
