JDC Medical Director Dr. Rick Hodes and his staff have been consulting with Jewish and international agencies entering Ethiopia to address this humanitarian crisis. They will provide guidance to the Jewish Coalition to ensure that programs address real needs. Because drought occurs with regularity in this region of Africa, Coalition activities will address immediate and long-term needs. All decisions regarding the programming of funds will be made by the member agencies of the Coalition. Activities will be coordinated with the U.S. and Israeli Governments, the international non-governmental organization community, and the local authorities.
Contributions are tax-deductible.
