Hey there,
I'm Liz, WeForest's Corporate Partnership Development Manager. I wanted to fill you in about some good news for our Northern Ethiopia projects, as well as letting you know about our plans for this year’s Giving Tuesday later in November.
A truce has been reached in the Ethiopian civil war, with both sides agreeing to halt their two-year conflict. After thousands of deaths and near-famine conditions for 90% of people in northern Tigray, this is a glimmer of hope.
Meanwhile, our Ethiopia team has been busy carrying out a survey of the households that will be involved with our new Gewocha Forest project with The Hunger Project. Baseline surveys like this one are carried out to determine the situation at the start of the project, and later ones help us measure the success of the forest-friendly livelihoods programmes we promote and support.
This year, WeForest is participating in Giving Tuesday with GlobalGiving. This 24-hour campaign takes place on 29th November, a global day of giving celebrated by nonprofits, corporations, and donors alike! GlobalGiving is offering a $1,200,000 incentive fund to organizations who receive the most funding on the day so we're super excited to see what WeForest can achieve with your help.
Without your kind donations none of this would be possible, so thank you once again from all of us here at WeForest.
