The conflict in Tigray (located in northern Ethiopia) has had a devastating impact on Tigrayan children. Preliminary reports from international agencies reveal that as of September 2021, ~200K children are malnourished, thousands of children are orphaned & thousands now have physical disabilities due to the violence. Additionally, millions need psychological help and are out of school. DEKNA (ደቅና) aims to support Tigrayan children and enable them to be healthy and competent citizens that will play a positive role in their community.
