General information

Save the Children first worked in Ethiopia in the 1930s and set up its permanent offices by Save the Children Sweden in the 1960's and Save the Children UK in the 1970's.

Our earliest work in Ethiopia focused on humanitarian and emergency relief, and has evolved into a range of longer-term development initiatives for the most vulnerable children. On 1 October 2012, seven Save the Children Member organisations which had all been working in Ethiopia (Canada, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, UK and USA) came together to form a single organisation.

We are the lead member of the EVERY ONE campaign coalition to achieve MDG 4 - a two-thirds reduction in the number of children who die before their fifth birthday.

Save the Children Ethiopia remains committed to ensuring the realization of Save the Children's dual mandate of equally supporting both development and humanitarian works. Save the Children will pursue this through its nine thematic areas in Health, Nutrition, Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL), Water and Sanitation (WASH), HIV and AIDS, Child Protection, Education, Building Child Friendly Systems and Structures and Humanitarian Response.
