More Information About this ProjectProject Needs and BeneficiariesFor Ethiopians living in drought-prone areas, consecutive failed rainy seasons and sharply-rising food prices are taking their toll. Emergency feeding centres have been overwhelmed with families hoping to save their severely malnourished loved ones. To help reduce this suffering, Ethiopiaid is targeting famine relief to children under five and their families affected by drought in the Arsi Negele and Shashemene Districts in Southern Ethiopia. ActivitiesFamix, a protein-fortified food, will be provided to feed severely malnourished children. Supplies of wheat, cooking oil, beans, and seeds will also be distributed to help starving families return home.

Latest Update from the FieldFood aid for starving EthiopiansBy Steven McVay - Manager, February 17, 2009 12:06 PM
Food distribution to the starving people of the Shashemene District and Arsi Negele was begun on September 4 2008. Cooperation between government offices, the distribution committee and beneficiaries made the job a smooth and successful process. Thanks to your contributions we were able to provide the planned amount of food to 4825 adults (965 households) and 3360 children. However much, much more needs to be done. A recent joint assessment by the government and its humanitarian partners found that 4.9 million Ethiopians would require humanitarian assistance in the next six months. With your help we can help bring this figure down.
