01.United for Ethiopia

The EDTF Relief Fund supports urgent relief efforts that directly address pressing needs of the Ethiopian people. We focus on funding short-term initiatives that can quickly make a positive difference in people's lives during emergencies. For example, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, we donated USD 1.173 million worth of PPE to safeguard frontline healthcare workers.

The EDTF Projects Fund supports initiatives that address urgent needs and have the greatest potential for long-term, positive impact on the Ethiopian people.

02.A Vision for a Thriving Ethiopia

We envision a future where every Ethiopian has access to essential resources, opportunities, and a high quality of life. Through collaborative action and strategic investment, we are building a stronger, healthier, and more prosperous Ethiopia.
