Ahead is a UK-based charity initiating and supporting projects aimed at combating poverty and inequalities in health, education and development in Ethiopia, particularly in the Gujii Zone.

Ethiopia's poverty-stricken economy is based on agriculture, accounting for half of GDP, 60% of exports, and 80% of total employment. The agricultural sector suffers from frequent drought and poor cultivation practices.

Your support is crucial to promote healthy communities, widen access to learning and combat poverty in Ethiopia.
