Ethiopia is facing a deep and complex emergency. Two major forces are hitting families at the same time.
Behind each number is a family. A father who once grew enough food, now standing in line for distribution. A child who used to walk to school, now walking long distances to find water. A grandmother caring for grandchildren after their parents were lost to conflict.
Without steady humanitarian aid for families in Ethiopia, these pressures turn into starvation, illness, and the loss of a whole generation’s future.
Millions of families in Ethiopia are very hungry, have no water, and have to leave their homes because of a long drought and ongoing fighting. Many people have lost their homes, farms, and the ability to get clean water. During the crisis, humanitarian aid makes sure they can get food, clean water, shelter, and medical care.
Your donation will go directly to help with things like medical care, food aid for Ethiopia, hygiene kits, clean water distribution, and shelter materials. Droplets of Mercy USA works with reliable local groups to make sure that help gets to people quickly, safely, and openly.
Yes. Droplets of Mercy USA is a registered nonprofit in the United States. The law allows for the most tax-deductible donations possible. You will get a receipt after you give.
We focus on areas where there is a lot of need, like those with not enough food, a lot of people moving around, or not enough access to humanitarian aid. Local partners help find families in need, like mothers with kids, older people, and people with disabilities.
Of course. You can buy things like baby food, bottled water, cooking oil, bread flour, and hygiene products with even a little bit of money. Small gifts from kind people can make a big difference for families who are having a hard time making ends meet.
Food aid keeps kids from getting sick from not eating enough, gives them the energy to keep learning, and helps them grow over time. Babies, toddlers, and pregnant or breastfeeding women often get special fortified foods to keep them healthy.
Yes. You can help us by spreading the word, hosting fundraisers in your community, starting monthly giving groups, sharing our campaigns on social media, or working with us through your school, job, or faith group. Every little thing you do helps families in Ethiopia.
