Supplying Critical Nutrition for Children in Ethiopia

July 5, 2023

More than 2,600 young children, pregnant women, and nursing mothers have received support through an IOCC emergency health initiative.

Expanded Support to Meet Urgent Needs

For decades, IOCC has served in Ethiopia. As crises continue to mount—including conflict, the pandemic, drought, and a once-in-a-decade locust infestation—IOCC has expanded programming to address urgent food insecurity issues.

A new, multilayered initiative is helping mothers like Jennet care for their children. As she shared, “When I came to this food distribution center, I also received lessons about how to prepare nutritious meals… to keep my kids healthy.”
