Mission Genesis is an initiative to provide basic hygiene essentials to 250,000 - 350,000 displaced survivors of a horrendous attack in Ataye, Northern Ethiopia. Next Generation in collaboration with People to People has started this drive to launch the phased assistance for these victims.

Ataye is a small city found in North Shoa. As reported in the mainstream media, Ataye’s ethnic groups were deliberately targeted and attack by armed groups from April 14 – 18, 2021; as a result, the town had been devastated and citizens have been displaced and sheltered in places of worship, schools, and temporary camps. According to the city officials, this senseless attack is estimated to have destroyed 1207 homes with fire, ruthlessly killed more than 256 people, heavily injured 295, displaced an estimated 250,000 - 350,000+ people, torched 15 public service offices including schools and health centers. To repair the damaged property in and around the city, an estimated 1 (one) Billion ETB or (22,973,590 USD) is needed.

Now displaced people are living in various camps, schools, places of worship, and host families in different locations. In response to the crises, the government (federal, regional, zonal and woreda) and some relief organizations are working to provide emergency relief items like food, clothes, and temporary shelters. Although these items are rightly given urgent attention, hygiene needs have been overlooked especially the needs of sanitary pads for women. To ensure the management of this natural process in a healthy sustainable, hygienic, and dignified manner, we ask you to join us in our campaign.

How you can help:
Please join us by donating to our fundraiser and share it with friends, family, businesses, schools, place of worship, clubs, and coworkers because “an injustice somewhere is an injustice everywhere” ~ MLK. We take these basic needs for granted until we are without them.

 
What goes in the kit:
Sanitizers, soap, shampoo, new socks, new underwear (men and women), disposable razors, diapers, baby wipes, Vaseline, lotion, wash cloths, combs, and sanitary pads.

If you live in the DMV area and interested in dropping boxes filed with these essentials products, please drop them off Monday-Friday 8:am-4pm EST.
