In November 2020, northern Ethiopia descended into chaos as fighting broke out between the Tigray People’s Liberation Front and the Ethiopian National Defence Forces. Even with a unilateral ceasefire now in place, thousands of people have been killed, 2.2 million people have been displaced and 4.5 million people are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance.
Your compassionate response equipped MCC partner, Meserete Kristos Church Development Commission (MKCDC), to respond quickly with cash transfers to 850 families. 
This cash has allowed families to buy food items like teff (a local staple grain), maize and oil - providing critical nutrition and easing the burden on families living hand-to-mouth for years since the conflict erupted.
For Atsede Tadesse, the cash transfer helped her buy 100 kg of maize as well as the money to get the maize ground at a mill. For a single mother of five growing children — seven-year-old Handeya Getet (pictured here) and four older boys — your support has been vital. (MCC photo/Paul Mosley)
