Help provide urgent relief to Tigray

Tigray is in desperate need of aid: hundreds of thousands of people are malnourished or at risk of starvation, millions have been displaced and are living as internally displaced people (IDPs), and basic infrastructure like healthcare facilities have been destroyed. 

That's why our team created Humans for Humans, a Tigrinyan nonprofit that's providing direct assistance to Tigrinya people.

We're raising $45k to complete three budgeted projects over the next three months: (i) establishing and stocking a food center to feed 4,000 IDPs for three months, (ii) constructing shelters and ensuring clean water access for 800 IDPs, and (iii) providing 200 Dignity Kits to female IDPs. 

We have a team on the ground in Tigray ready to execute these projects, awaiting our aid. All donations will be sent as 1:1 direct aid to Humans for Humans Tigray. 

Please help us raise money to achieve these goals.

At a high level, the situation is getting worse because Tigray is blockaded by Federal forces and the UN has been able to deliver only a very limited amount of aid. Instead of providing aid from the outside, which is currently ineffective, Humans for Humans is able to deliver aid directly to Tigrinya people, as our team lives and works in Tigray. 

Humans for Humans Background: 
Since March of last year, we've raised $10,935 to support Tigrinya IDPs through GoFundMe. With this funding, we provided 3 months of basic food and groceries to 20 in-need families, donated $2000 in community cooking supplies to the Ayder IDP center, helped construct 20 IDP shelters for 400 IDPs (which are in active use today), installed 12,000L of water storage capacity for these IDPs.  

We were certified as a Tigrinya nonprofit in June of last year.
