The International Rescue Committee has been working in Ethiopia since 2000, providing essential aid to over 100,000 refugees and more than 500,000 Ethiopians affected by natural disasters. In 2013, the IRC in Ethiopia opened the largest water system for any refugee camp in the world.

Join our call to make world leaders accountable for real change for refugees. One year ago, heartbreaking photographs of 3-year-old Syrian refugee Alan Kurdi stranded on a Turkish beach brought the world’s attention to the largest migration of people fleeing conflict since World War II. Alan Kurdi’s name still resonates with all of us. The sense of loss and compassion we felt at his death was real. But the politics is stuck.
