Dear friends,

We hope you and your loved ones are safe and doing well during this COViD-19 pandemic. We at Wabii Maccaa Association (WMA) are pleading for your help to support the victims of crisis of displacement, food shortage, lack of shelter, and to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in western Oromia, particularly Wallaga, Ethiopia. People in this part of the world have been living under brutal military rule and all communication with the rest of the world were cut as the disease started spreading around the world. Millions were kept in the dark while the rest of the world was preparing to fight the spread of the disease. The disease has now arrived at their door and they are unprepared. WMA is conducting a fundraising campaign to help them.

Funds raised in this campaign will be used to meet the needs of the most vulnerable families and persons in the current humanitarian crisis and provide materials to support those affected by the disease. As a new nonprofit, WMA aims to mobilize resources to respond effectively to the kinds of crisis mentioned above with the goal of rehabilitation and sustainable development. Therefore, we appeal to your compassion and hope that you consider supporting this effort to save the lives of the most vulnerable. No amount is too large or too small - your generosity and compassionate gesture is what counts. Let us save as many lives as we can so that when this is over, we can tell ourselves, we did what we could.

Wabii Maccaa Association (WMA), a non-profit, humanitarian organization, registered in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota and the United States of America and your contribution is tax deductible.

Thank you,

Wabii Maccaa Executive Committee
