COVID-19 Prevention in Ethiopia

CPAR is also delivering public awareness messages about COVID-19 prevention to rural communities through radio and social media, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and regional health authorities. We have prioritized the procurement of essential personal protective equipment so Fitche Hospital can protect its staff, their families, and patients. Read more about this project on our website.

Meet Abaynesh Ayele, the Financial Officer in our Ethiopian office

One of Abaynesh’s favourite aspects of her job is the opportunity to go on field visits to different project areas. As she is responsible for our finances, she oversees how the donations we receive are being used, and ensure they are spent with the utmost care. This also allows her to witness our donors’ dollars at work firsthand, and how that money is changing people’s lives.
