WHAT WE DO

Health

Millions of people, mostly women and children, die each year in nations impacted by violent war, natural catastrophes, and preventable causes. The majority of these deaths are caused by crisis-related disruptions such as poor sanitation, food and medical shortages, and insufficient preventative measures.

Our Goal

Poor health can hinder people's ability to improve their lives, particularly during times of conflict and natural disasters. TDRF helps people in Tigray who are living through or recovering from wars and disasters to reduce their chance of becoming sick and to get medical help if they do.
