Medical Volunteers for Ethiopia

Volunteers provide life-changing acts of medical expertise.

Helping is helping even if it feels like a drop in the ocean. You may not always see the results of your actions, but every kindness — in thought, word, and deed — that you contribute makes the world a better place for us all.

Ethiopia is among the five poorest countries in the world. 90% of rural Ethiopia is plagued by the Inequity Triad of illiteracy, poverty and disease. 

Since 2010, EHA teams of global and local H.O.P.E. Builders have worked tirelessly to bring education, health and action to the rural communities where the need is greatest.

Our medical volunteers provide health and education resources where care is scarce. Our reach extends from rural village to shanty town to developing city in the Southern Oromia region of Ethiopia. We engage our local counterparts through meaningful transfer of knowledge and work together to invest in people and resources to improve the communities we serve. 

EHA mission volunteers are always pleasantly surprised by the lushness and beauty that surrounds them in rural Ethiopia. They are greeted by the golden sunrise at Lake Langano before they start each service day.
