The Hunt Foundation: Missions to the Tigray Region of Ethiopia
Food, water, protection for the vulnerable, and education
Extensive military clashes in the Tigray region of Ethiopia have led to over 200,000 people displaced and over 60,000 crossing the border to seek safety in Eastern Sudan. The humanitarian situation in both the Tigray region and Sudan is dire, with severe food insecurity affecting millions. The conflict has led to over two million students being unable to attend school for over two years. To address the needs of these vulnerable children and their families, the Hunt Foundation is committed to supporting a large-scale response to assist families in these displaced communities. The children and their families are in extreme need of humanitarian assistance in food and housing and are unable to attend school. The initial needs of these families include the most basic support by providing food and water, protection for vulnerable children, and essential educational tools, such as pens, pencils, exercise books, and other needs. The local school buildings must be rehabilitated, along with strategies for mobile education for the young people in the region without homes.
