World Vision Ethiopia began its first intervention in Ethiopia in 1971 with relief and opened the Ethiopia office in 1975. Relief, rehabilitation and small community development projects dominated the decade that followed. During the 1984/85 drought, World Vision Ethiopia participated in a massive relief operation that saved the lives of millions of people. Our Goal
World Vision Ethiopia aims to
contribute to a measurably improved well-being of 25 million children, 16 million of whom are most vulnerable by 2025. Our Vision
Our vision for every child, life in all its fullness;
Our prayer for every heart, the will to make it so. Our Approach
After an intensive relief and rehabilitation programme, the organization developed a new integrated development approach, the objective of which was to ensure empowerment and transformational change. This approach led to the establishment of Area Development Programs (ADPs) in the 1990s, which is still being implemented and continuously strengthened today. Geographic Coverage
