Retrak reaches out to vulnerable street children in Ethiopia, to provide them with food, medicine, shelter, education and everything they need to build a new life away from the street.

The Girl Effect is about girls and boys and moms and dads and villages and towns and countries.

By ensuring mothers and frontline health providers in Ethiopia have access to simple, proven, and affordable technologies, thousands of lives can be saved during pregnancy and childbirth.

ORBIS plans to conduct simple eye surgeries in remote regions of Ethiopia, in the hope to cure thousands of people suffering from the painful, blinding, and life-destroying eye disease - trachoma.

Children forced on the streets by drought will be frightened, hungry and exhausted – you can help them avoid further suffering by helping us to be prepared. The worst drought in the horn of Africa for 60 years is forcing children away from their homes and to the streets. We are desperate to ensure Retrak is prepared and equipped to help as many of the children as possible. Help us to ensure that these children have a real alternative to life on the streets.

A severe drought in East Africa has inflicted wide scale crop failures and food insecurity throughout communities already struggling to survive, affecting more than 10 million people.

Your support can help us bring lifesaving relief and supplies to those suffering from the worst drought in decades.

The project will select 5,000 poor women from three regions of Ethiopia; provide them skills and basic enterprise-management training, a start-up fund and technical assistance for self-reliance.
