Plan Ethiopia: what we do

Plan Ethiopia’s work to break the cycle of poverty covers the following areas:

• child survival and development
• quality education
• food security and nutrition
• child participation and protection
• HIV and AIDS.

We work to improve the health of communities by implementing programmes to tackle childhood illnesses and improve safe motherhood services.

Water, sanitation and hygiene is another core part of our work - more than 250,000 children die every year in Ethiopia due to unsafe water. We implement projects to construct water supply schemes, train communities in sanitation and hygiene education, as well as support the construction of latrines.

We also work to strengthen community based organisations, government and local non-government organisations to help them participate effectively in health development issues.

Plan Ethiopia

Plan first started working in Ethiopia in November 1974, helping poor children gain wider access to health, education, protection and participation in the districts of Lalibela and Arba Minch. Having closed in 1977, Plan resumed operations in Ethiopia in October 1994. Since then Plan has maintained a consistent presence in the country.

As a child-centred community development and humanitarian organisation, Plan works extensively at the grassroots level to promote the healthy development of all children.
