Safe Water for Tigray, Ethiopia Genocide

HELP PREVENT A CHOLERA OUTBREAK in communities devastated by the genocide in Ethiopia.

Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced in Tigray, Ethiopia as a result of the ongoing massacre. Many are living in informal sites with little to no access to assistance.

With the rainy season now in full force, local physicians are starting to see emerging cases of waterborne diseases like cholera and typhoid, and officials are extremely concerned about large scale outbreaks. This is especially alarming for the thousands of displaced children who are already undernourished and in poor health.

LifeStraw has shipped filters to Tigray and to refugee camps in Sudan where thousands have fled. But the need for safe water to prevent a potentially catastrophic disease outbreak is immense.

Donate now to help us get additional filters to families of Tigray.

100% of donated funds go toward the cost of products and distribution of supplies. Vestergaard Frandsen, Inc. (d/b/a “LifeStraw”) does not profit from your donation.
