Feeding Ethiopia’s Most Vulnerable Children

Rural Northern Ethiopia is frequently affected by food shortages due to lack of rainfall and farmland — conditions exacerbated by the recent two-year war in the country, which has made the poor families of the region even poorer. As a result, many children go without enough to eat.
In response, CNEWA’s school feeding program provides nutritious food to more than 18,000 students during food shortage months, helping them attend classes and thrive under these harsh circumstances. Many children walk for two to three hours across unforgiving mountain terrain, and the meal they receive through these feeding programs may be all they eat that day.
This year, CNEWA committed over $1.8 million to our programs that respond to human needs —including childcare initiatives, health care programs and caring for the poor and marginalized.
