Our countries

Ethiopia

Ethiopia is one of the fastest growing economies of the world, with an average annual growth of 10% for the last decade. Over half of its 117 million people are youth.

Despite rapid economic growth, childhood undernutrition, poverty and lack of basis services remain a challenge for many families. Even today, nearly 43 million children in Ethiopia are stunted.

We established an office in 2019, with the ambition to ramp up to national level impact, mainstreaming our approach by working with government and partners.
