Food aid in Ethiopia
Delivering hope: A large crowd gathers at a food distribution point where Plan staff give essential supplies to many in need.
Green drought: Although the landscape appears lush, lack of and ill-timed rainfall has delayed crop growth and harvest season, resulting in a green drought.
Putting children first: Children under age five and mothers who are breastfeeding are among the most vulnerable of the estimated 4.5 million people in Ethiopia who need food aid.
Keeping a watchful eye: Children are particularly vulnerable in disasters and the impact upon their welfare and protection is being carefully monitored.
Nutrition is key: Sacs of food supplies being distributed are rich in nutrients and designed to help fight malnutrition.
Advanced planning: Plan is distributing seeds and water to families to aid in future crop growth and to help replenish sustainable food supplies.
Forward thinking: Plan is also distributing livestock to families to replace those that have been decimated by the green drought and to help replenish sustainable food supplies.
Making connections: Plan staff speak with a family that has received flour at a food distribution point.
Giving thanks: A family shows their gratitude to Plan staff.
