Covid-relief fundraiser

Ethiopia is mobilizing against Covid-19 but community-led efforts are pivotal to keep food on the table and a roof over our families today.

Goal: $10K with first $5K matched
​($100/family = food and healthcare security for the next month)

To reach our girls through this pandemic,
we must support their caregivers today, ensuring they're safe
and will re-open their businesses when this passes.

These women are the small business owners in our micro-loan program and the backbone of our community. They're the mothers, aunts, sisters, neighbors, and caregivers to our students.

They lost their source of income due to the State of Emergency declared in Ethiopia. This was their household's lifeline to food, shelter, and healthcare. If we see loss of life in our community, as so many have in the developed world, we risk facing an orphan crisis.

​We need your help today to keep their households as healthy as possible during the Covid outbreak in Ethiopia.

Longtime Studio Samuel supporter, GO Campaign, is generously matching
the first $5K raised through our GlobalGiving Campaign.
We've all been affected, but if you have any room, please give today.
