STRENGTHENING HEALTHCARE SERVICES AT MENDIDA MEDHANIALEM CATHOLIC CLINIC
Mendida Medhanialem Catholic Medium Clinic was founded by the Divine Providence Sisters’ Congregation in 1973, and plays a critical role in providing preventive and curative heath care services free of charge for the people of Mendida, in the Oromo Regional State, about 50 miles north of the capital. Since 2021, this region has seen a large influx of populations displaced by the war in Tigray. The area also is experiencing a major drought which has led to a sharp increase in rates of food insecurity. LEARN MORE
The clinic serves approximately 200 patients per day and operates laboratory, pharmacy, health education, child nutrition support and other mother and children and OB-GYN services.
The vital work of this clinic is at risk. The global pandemic has caused more than 7,000 deaths, economic devastation and social crises throughout Ethiopia. The costs of medical supplies, drugs, food, equipment and essential commodities have risen dramatically.

CNEWA urgently seeks to raise $10,000 to fund this program. As donor attention now focuses on the crisis in Ukraine, the sisters unexpectedly lost a grant from a third-party donor.
The clinic currently receives no other sources of funding and is at risk of closing. Please join us to support the sisters and the patients they serve.
Your contribution will allow the dedicated staff of this clinic to continue their critical work saving lives.
