EPPAD Philanthropy for COVID19 Response-Ethiopia

The Novel Coronavirus (COVID19) Pandemic has affected every aspect of our lives in almost every country in the world, including in Ethiopia.

We are proud of Pharmacists and other allied front-line professionals for your extraordinary service to the public despite the risk to you and your loved ones.

We are closely monitoring the COVID19 situation and reports coming from Ethiopia where the healthcare system is being extremely challenged.

To show our solidarity with our fellow healthcare professionals in Ethiopia and support the early response to COVID19,  EPPAD Philanthropy Group has already initiated the first response by providing selected critical/prioritized items worth  $2,000.00. The initial items include:
•  IR Thermometers
•  Biohazard Bags
•  Gloves
•  Masks and
•  Hand Sanitizers

Your generous donation will help to scale-up our support to provide the above-suggested and other needed medical equipment for the prevention and control of the Coronavirus Disease in Ethiopia.

The items will be consolidated with the response being coordinated by:
·     The Diaspora Coronavirus Task-force,
·     The Ethiopian Embassy, and
       Ethiopian Airlines will fly the shipment free.

100 % of your donation will go directly to support the initiative & will not be used for any administrative or freight costs. Your donations are tax-deductible.
