Plan Ethiopia

Plan works in the capital Addis Ababa, north Lalibela, Jimma and southern part of the country Shebedino areas. Our work here is founded on an integrated child-centered community development approach.

Food security: although Plan is not a relief organisation, food security is an ongoing issue in Ethiopia. We work with partners to provide food relief where there is a need. Longer term, we implement more sustainable programs, for example, focussing on promoting irrigation techniques, soil and water conservation. More about food security
