Ethiopia has an estimated population of 107 million. But only one hospice. Many thousands of people there have incurable diseases. They are dying. They are dying in distress, often in pain, with nowhere to turn. Their only hope is Hospice Ethiopia.
Hospice Ethiopia UK provides financial, educational and practical support to Hospice Ethiopia in Addis Ababa. We perform fundraising activities, training and specialist support from the United Kingdom.
Hospice Ethiopia provides free medication, so that the dying have relief from pain, and medical care to alleviate the worst symptoms.
The care given by Hospice Ethiopia is home-based: clinicians visit and treat patients in their own homes.
Hospice Ethiopia is working hard to train doctors, nurses and other medics about palliative care.
We’re very excited to let you know that Hospice Ethiopia UK has again been selected to participate in the Big Give Christmas Challenge 2020, the UK’s largest match funding campaign.
This year, in addition to our popular Christmas cards, we’re pleased to announce the 2021 Hospice Ethiopia UK Calendar. The calendars include a selection of stunning photographs of the animals, landscape, people and culture of Ethiopia.
The first known case of covid-19 in Ethiopia was on 13th February 2020. In April, the number of cases began to rise and the government declared a state of emergency to curb its spread.
Thank you! We appreciate your generosity!
