In Ethiopië woedt een van de ergste humanitaire crises van de afgelopen decennia. Volgens cijfers van Unicef gaan 3,1 miljoen Ethiopische kinderen al geruime tijd niet naar school. Tijdens de laatste zes maanden alleen al is dat cijfer gestegen tot 3,6 miljoen kinderen.

Education Cannot Wait (ECW), het fonds van de Verenigde Naties dat voorziet in onderwijs in noodsituaties en langdurige crises, heeft sinds 2017 al 55 miljoen dollar aan investeringen in onderwijs verstrekt in Ethiopië.

A silent catastrophe is unfolding in Ethiopia on the backdrop of years of inter-communal conflict and the most prolonged and severe drought in recent years.
