Crowdfunding Campaign - Rebuild Her Business

Women in northern Ethiopia have lost the means to support their families and need your help to get back to their lives after the conflict.

The conflict in northern Ethiopia has devastated the northern regions resulting in loss of lives, a massive humanitarian load, widespread displacement, and critical damage to infrastructure, services and the economy. UNDP is supporting recovery, rehabilitation, and reconstruction efforts in these regions with a broad spectrum of interventions, including economic recovery.

We need your help to support women like Yetimwork, a 30-year-old mother of two who ran a tea house in her village but had to flee during the conflict. After the peace agreements, she went back to her village to find her teashop in ruins and her equipment destroyed.

Her story is common among women in the northern Ethiopia regions of Afar, Amhara and Tigray. The Rebuild HER Business campaign is designed precisely to support women who are striving to rebuild their businesses after the conflict.

The campaign is seeking to raise $500,000 to support 1000 women with a $500 capital fund in the three regions. These women are part of the group receiving psychosocial and legal support through UNDP’s Peace Support Programme.
