Help Poverty in Ethiopia

Recent signers:
Lydia Thorsness and 19 others have signed recently.

The Issue

Poverty levels in Ethiopia are extremely high, with 68.7% of all Ethiopians living in poverty as of 2021 according to Human Development Reports. 

Over 86 million Ethiopians suffer from poverty.
Poverty is more common in rural areas because of less job opportunities and less resources. People of color, people with disabilities, and children
 are more likely to suffer from poverty.

Agriculture is a major source of employment in Ethiopia, but it is also a place full of poverty.

Poor infrastructure, like having no roads or markets, can make it hard for people to sell produce.
Bad weather conditions, like droughts, can impact crop growth and lead to food shortages.
Pests and diseases can also impact crop growth.

By signing this petition, we are one step closer to stopping a big problem. Other ways you can help are:

  • Donating to a food bank or a organization working to help end poverty
  • Start a fundraiser to raise awareness or raise money
  • Volunteer at a local food bank or soup kitchen
