This project will cover the annual health insurance costs for 18,000 marginalized community members-primarily women and girls-in six underserved towns in Ethiopia's conflict-affected Amhara region. By providing direct access to healthcare services, we aim to restore health, dignity, and hope to those who have been displaced and impoverished by recent violence.
The Amhara region of Ethiopia has been severely impacted by recent conflict, leading to widespread displacement, loss of livelihoods, and fractured healthcare systems. Thousands of women and girls are unable to access essential medical services due to cost barriers. Without insurance, many suffer from preventable diseases, complications during childbirth, and untreated chronic conditions, deepening cycles of poverty and vulnerability.
This program will directly pay for annual health insurance premiums, giving 18,000 beneficiaries access to a network of local clinics and hospitals. Insurance coverage includes: Primary care visits Maternal and reproductive health services Emergency care Chronic disease management Pediatric care Beneficiaries will be enrolled through community outreach and supported by local health workers to ensure they understand and utilize their benefits effectively.
Beyond immediate healthcare access, this project will: Reduce maternal and child mortality rates Improve overall community health and productivity Empower women and girls by safeguarding their health Strengthen local health systems through sustained engagement Build a foundation for long-term recovery and stability in post-conflict communities
