The WEEMA Team delivering some much needed supplies to Kembata-Tembaro.
As the number of COVID-19 cases in Ethiopia increases steadily, the WEEMA team has actively started its response efforts. We are working in collaboration with the regional government of the Kembata-Tembaro zone. After setting up a COVID-19 task force, our team has started purchasing the most critical items per the request from the regional government.
This past week, our team delivered a much-needed supply of cleaning supplies, medical and personal protective gear from Addis Ababa to the Kembata-Tembaro Zone where the Health Department will now distribute these materials to the different woredas (districts). Our delivery included gloves, N95 masks, boots, gowns and sterilizing solutions. We will continue to support the local government in its fight against COVID-19.
We cannot do this without you. The need for critical supplies in rural Ethiopia is great and in order to keep going, we need your support. Please consider supporting our COVID-19 emergency fundraiser where your collective donations up to $10,000 USD will be matched by an anonymous donor. Please join us in this fight by contributing what you can to this campaign. It is in times like this that we must show our solidarity to protect vulnerable communities from this pandemic.
Wishing you a safe and healthy rest of the week.
