Tigray Famine and Crisis Relief Fund

by GlobalGiving
Tigray Famine and Crisis Relief Fund

Thank you for your generous donation to the Tigray Famine and Crisis Relief Fund. Since our last update, this fund was reopened to respond to the deeply concerning levels of hunger, displacement, and complexity of the conflict. Donations to this GlobalGiving fund have been making a difference, helping to meet the needs of people affected by one of the deadliest conflicts in the world in recent years. 

Community-led nonprofit organizations have faced enormous challenges in providing services and accessing resources. Partners like Abraham’s Oasis have had to adjust to the realities of the situation, causing delays or changes in programming. 

Since we last wrote, a peace agreement was signed, and access to the Tigray region has increased. Donations to the Tigray Famine and Crisis Relief Fund recently supported two high-impact, community-led nonprofit organizations at the forefront of this crisis in Ethiopia.

Here is a short description of some of the critical work you’ve supported: 

  • Tiruzer Ethiopia for Africa (TEA) is launching emergency relief and rehabilitation programming in southwest Tigray. TEA’s life-saving work is intended to support children, women, and the elderly—including people who have lost their homes and possessions due to conflict. 
  • Bridge for Development Organization aims to empower vulnerable girls who are displaced by conflict and who reside in camps. In particular, the organization will provide sanitary pads to girls affected by conflict in northern Ethiopia, with a focus on effective products that are culturally acceptable, user-friendly, and affordable.

Your support of the GlobalGiving Tigray Famine and Crisis Relief Fund powers community-led responses, and it means people in deeply difficult circumstances get the critical resources they need to help their community rebuild after conflict. Your support remains a lifeline. 

With gratitude,

Across the northern region of Ethiopia, escalating political tensions between the Ethiopian National Defense Force and the Tigray People's Liberation Front has displaced more than half a million Tigrayans, many of whom are facing malnutrition and famine conditions. The communication blackout has made it difficult for humanitarian organizations and journalists to respond and report on these atrocities. However, many are braving these conditions and working tirelessly to meet the urgent needs and livelihoods of families and individuals throughout the region.

Your donation has powered two grants to high-impact and community-led nonprofit organizations on the front lines of this crisis. Our team wanted to share a reflection from Ruth, a Project Leader from Abraham's Oasis about the impact of your gift: 

"It was so good to be able to provide for so many for the Ethiopian New Year. Having available funds enabled Abraham's Oasis to buy food, oil, meat for over 1,000 people who were forcefully displaced and gave hope that all is not lost."

Here is a short description of some of the critical work you’ve supported:

  • IsraAID’s local team is expanding the scope and reach of safe water, establishing child-friendly spaces, and delivering critical psycho-social programming. 
  • Abraham's Oasis is providing emergency relief to more than 1,000 Tigrayan refugees in Shire, with the mission of establishing income-generating activities to build the capacity of families and help them rebuild their lives. 

Thanks to your generous support, people like Ruth can provide critical resources to help their community recover from the ongoing conflicts. 

With gratitude,

About GlobalGiving’s Disaster Response

When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.

We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.

They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
