Emergency food support reaches families affected by HIV
Grain, oil and staples delivered to destitute households identified by community volunteers.

Community volunteers visit homes every week. When they find a household in crisis — a caregiver too ill to work, a family that has lost its breadwinner — Ende Enat responds with direct food support: sacks of grain, cooking oil and staples brought to the family.
Support is verified through our community committees so that it reaches the most vulnerable first, and it is paired with referrals for HIV testing and treatment, coverage of medical and transport costs, and links to the kebele health extension programme.
Emergency food is a bridge, not a destination. Wherever possible the same families are enrolled in livelihood training and saving groups so the next crisis finds them stronger.
