Silent cry International started working in Ethiopia in 2022, initially responding to severe drought and famine that killed nearly one million people. While we still provide emergency food relief, our work has expanded to address the root causes of poverty and vulnerability through longer-term development work.
More recently, millions of Ethiopians have been forced to flee their homes to escape violence. This conflict, centered in the eastern part of Ethiopia, has worsened food insecurity, malnutrition, and disease outbreaks.
