Who are you trying to help? What issue are you trying to address?

The humanitarian situation in Sidama zone continues to deteriorate as a result of the interaction of a number of factors including drought, food insecurity, disease out break, armed conflict and gaps in the response mechanisms. The armed conflict usually occurs at the borders of Sidama and Oromia over scarce natural resources especially water and pasture. This armed conflict has been claiming a number of lives. Mostly it is a youth and adult who indulge in armed conflicts. Due to this reason, in districts such as Dore-bafano, Gorche, Malga and Wondo Genet, we find old people and orphans who are subjected to multi-directional responsibilities.

We are in need of funding for project that aims at HIV/AIDS prevention and improvement of nutritional status.

The inadequate quality of food provided, combined with already existing traditional cultural practices leading to poor diets lacking in crucial nutrients and high rates of chronic malnutrition made old people and their beloved grand children particularly vulnerable. Hence, the HIV/AIDS prevention and control activity should be coupled with provision of nutritious food during the project period.
