We extend our deepest condolences to the families and communities affected by the recent landslide disaster in Gamo Zone.

We acknowledge the ongoing efforts and strong coordination led by the Federal Government, Regional authorities, and partners responding to this crisis under challenging conditions.

In support of these efforts, READIO Ethiopia is supporting the response through the deployment of a multidisciplinary volunteer health team, including medical doctors, psychiatrists, nurses, and public health professionals, for a one-week initial phase, in collaboration with partners including ASDEPO.

Our team is currently engaging in:
• Mobile health services
• Psychosocial support
• Basic health and nutrition screening
• Community health education

This engagement is made possible through local resource mobilization and the commitment of volunteer professionals, reflecting the importance of local capacity in emergency response.

While important progress is being made, significant needs remain, particularly in reaching hard-to-access communities and supporting vulnerable groups.

“When healthcare reaches the community, suffering stops.”

This testimony is shared by Priest Tesfahun Deneke, Director of Abela Abaya Orthodox Theology School, reflecting a real experience of how community-based maternal healthcare and ultrasound services transformed his family’s life.

What once required traveling more than 100 miles to the city, with high transport costs and hardship, became available within the rural community through READIO’s local health services.

This is the impact of sustainable, community-centered healthcare:
• Services delivered close to home
• Local capacity strengthened
• Trust built through service
• Dignity restored

We share this testimony not for recognition, but to amplify the voice of the community and demonstrate what equitable healthcare truly means.
