2018

After severe drought in the South Omo region of Ethiopia, the Hamer people lost much of their livestock. The Austrian Red Cross partnered with the Ethiopian Red Cross to restock the Hamer people's goats. Eligible families receive five goats, four female and one male over a series of distributions.
