02 Activities

What the charity does

Providing grants to projects in Ethiopia. These alleviate mossy foot (podoconiosis) and train sufferers whose condition has been brought under control in skills that keep them away from agriculture and enables them to reintegrate into their community. This reduces the likelihood of the symptoms returning to those persons. Educating through lectures and website to raise awareness of the condition.
