Our History in Ethiopia
In 1984, Food for the Hungry (FH) began working in response to the famine, which grew into large-scale food relief, rehabilitation and long-term food security. Since then, FH has focused efforts on community development and other areas of need to improve living conditions, prepare for harsh environmental factors such as droughts, and assist in improved agricultural techniques.
