About Ethiopiaid Canada:
Founded in 2009, Ethiopiaid Canada is an international aid and development charity that works to help people in Ethiopia live healthy and productive lives. Ethiopiaid Canada is part of an international network of Ethiopiaid charities with offices in the UK, Ireland, and Australia. Rather than having offices or paid staff in Ethiopia, Ethiopiaid funds trusted partners based in Ethiopia who implement projects on the charity’s behalf. Ethiopiaid Canada has three key pillars to its work: Maternal Health, Education for All, and Women’s Empowerment.
Ethiopiaid Canada's Maternal Health programs aim to help increase access to quality maternal health & safe childbirth in Ethiopia, as well as help eradicate fistula throughout Ethiopia. According to Ethiopiaid, recent statistics indicate that there are 3,000 new cases of obstetric fistula in Ethiopia each year, in addition to over 36,000 untreated cases. In 2019, funding provided by Ethiopiaid enabled 225 women to receive obstetric fistula repair surgery and holistic support.
Ethiopiaid Canada's Women’s Empowerment programs aim to support the well-being of disadvantaged women and promote community development through the economic empowerment of women. Ethiopiaid Canada reports that 59% of Ethiopian women aged 15-79 have experienced sexual partner violence in their lifetime, and 74% of Ethiopian women aged 15-49 have undergone female genital mutilation. In 2019, funding provided by Ethiopiaid enabled 438 women and 215 children who are survivors of gender-based violence to receive shelter, security, counselling, and vocational training.
Ethiopiaid Canada's Education for All programs aim to expand educational opportunities for marginalized women, youth, and disadvantaged children. Roughly 50% of all Ethiopian young adults are unemployed, and more than 25% of first graders drop out before the end of their first year in school. In 2019, funding provided by Ethiopiaid enabled 445 women and children with disabilities to access business skills training, microloans, assistive devices, and access to education.
