Ethiopiaid

Ethiopiaid partners with local charities, delivering specialist support to improve health, education and opportunities for people in Ethiopia who need it most, at a time when it will make a real difference. Together we transform lives and achieve lasting change.

Elilta

Elilta
When Elilta was in labour she faced emergency complications. But years of conflict in northern Ethiopia have devastated healthcare so there was nowhere to go and no midwife to call. The trauma was too much, and Elilta’s baby died.

Safe Motherhood Ambassadors

Safe Motherhood Ambassadors
Tragedies like Elilta’s happen too often. Ethiopiaid is rebuilding maternal care, restocking health centres and supporting women like Elilta with counselling and training. Now an ambassador, she reaches other mothers, to prevent the same dangers.

Safe Motherhood Ambassadors are already saving lives. They encourage antenatal checks, spot high-risk pregnancies and ensure women reach care in time. £50 can help equip an ambassador. If you give now, all donations will be matched up to £18,000.
