Help families survive the hunger crisis in Ethiopia

Donate now

20 million people in Ethiopia alone, don’t have enough food.

East Africa’s hunger crisis continues to escalate from the combined impact of a three-year drought, massive livestock loss, conflict, corruption and hyper-inflation. Less international assistance has been offered, with global attention being focused on Ukraine and the Middle East. 

Time is of the essence if we are to save lives.

How is Tearfund responding?

Recent reports tell us the situation across Ethiopia continues to deteriorate. Our partner is extending their response to provide further emergency assistance.  

What makes Tearfund different is our partnership with local communities. We believe communities know the issues they face better than anyone. That’s why we've partnered with a remarkable local Ethiopian organisation that has been active in the country for 30 years. 

Together we're able to deliver food directly to people identified as most in need. We’re also coming alongside local farmers, assisting them to develop the best agricultural practices to increase food access and climate resilience 

This dual strategy sees people's urgent food needs met directly, and resilience built for the longer term.

What we've achieved in the past

Heavenly Father,

We humbly seek your guidance as communities worldwide face challenges.

We pray for generous support from wealthier nations to bridge funding gaps, delivering lifesaving interventions and aiding recovery efforts.

Grant rain for agriculture, sustaining livelihoods and food security, and strengthen partners providing emergency food assistance.

Protect those distributing aid and empower communities to withstand future challenges.

May your love inspire compassion and solidarity as we strive for positive change.

Amen.
