What it reported doing in 2022

During 2022, we run fundraising from our members and the community to help war victims affected by the war in Tigray, North Ethiopia. The war started on Nov 3' 2020 that affected the entire population (children, women, elderly and the entire populace in general) of the region. Tens of thousands (though large in number relatively small compared to those encircled in the midst of war) were able to escape & refuge in Sudan were in extreme harsh conditions. Thus, the organization have been raising funds from the community to help the victims as much as possible albeit from a limited resource both in 2021 and 2022. To this end in 2022, the organization transferred $7205.00 on 03/07/2022 & $41,000.00 on 08/02/2022 to Tigray Development Association in North America (EIN: 52-1666534) to help the victims. Also raised and transferred funds raised from the community in 2020 and 2021 to help the war victims as well as to help with the fight against & eradication of locus swarm among others.
