Initial Use of the Funds Explained
Since November 2020, there has been an on-going conflict between the Tigray Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF), a former politically powerful group, and the new democratically elected Ethiopian Government, led by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. This conflict had been primarily contained to the northern part of Ethiopia. At the end of October 2021, the TPLF expanded the conflict by advancing on other towns and cities in the north and continued to move south. Two of our HopeChest CarePoints located in the city of Kombolcha have been directly impacted.
As of early December 2021, the Ethiopian government has successfully removed TPLF forces from Kombolcha, and the city is now back under its protection.
