This is why we work to provide safe, clean water. We work to provide sustainable jobs with our Livelihoods Program, we are on the ground with Emergency Relief, and we provide thousands of pounds of nutrient-dense foods with our Seasonal Islamic Giving Program to help uplift Ethiopians.
Zakat Foundation in Ethiopia
Zakat Foundation of America supporters annually provide a full month of Iftar meals to generously feed hundreds of Muslim families in Ethiopia each Ramadan, as well as thousands of pounds of Udhiyah (Qurbani) from locally raised cattle. Our relief specialists also install Water Wells as Sadaqah Jariyah.
Food security remains a critical issue in Ethiopia, especially for children. In 2019, more than 30,000 children were admitted for treatment of severe acute malnutrition. Climate change and conflict in Ethiopia are the main causes of food insecurity in the region. This food insecurity coupled with lack of access to safe, clean water, education, shelter, and health care means more people are in need of aid to prevent nutrition deterioration.
