CoronaVirus Outbreak-ETHIOPIA

This Campaign is organized by Transfer-Ethiopia  (https://transfer-ethiopia.org ).

Currently, the world is busy fighting against the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreaks.

After official COVID-19 outbreak report in the country, Ethiopia is taking many drastic measures including shutting down of her boarders to mitigate coronavirus treat. We are grateful to the healthcare workers, volunteers and concerned authorities for unreserved contributions at this crucial time. We are also terrified of the situation may spiraling out of control.

Unfortunately, millions of people in Ethiopia are lacking access to the most important supplies required in the basic protective measures against COVID-19 outbreak: including soap, water, sanitizers, gloves, masks, etc.

Ethiopia with over 100 million population is the country with low skilled health workforce density of 7 per 10,000 population, which is far below the World Health Organization's recommended minimum threshold density of 23 per 10,000 population. When compared to some Western countries, the situation is even worse. In Norway, for example, there are 180 nurses for every 10,000 population. Further, access to health personnel, infection control equipment and beds are all critical factors.

With poor healthcare systems, shortage of healthcare workers and strong cultural social ties in Ethiopia, the chance of coronavirus spread would be an extreme concern. Thus, solidarity across borders is more important than ever. It is therefore timely to kindly request you all to donate whatever you can within your means, or at least spread out the word, so that we can raise funds towards fighting the spread of COVID-19 in Ethiopia.

We would like the funds to go to the procurement of most essential supplies in the fight against COVID-19, such as gloves, masks, or other medical supplies as deemed necessary.

We know that if enough people can find it in their hearts to pitch in even an amount that will buy at least one box of gloves, we will be able to reach our goal. PLEASE JOIN US.

We would greatly appreciate if you could support our GOAL by making a donation and sharing this campaign with your network. Again, please recall that any amount of penny helps us to get closer to our GOAL and bring a difference in the lives of those in need!


Let us know if you have any question and we will be happy to answer.
