EHDR-UK wishes to pass this message to all Eritreans in the UK regarding the devastating drought and famine in Eritrea.

It is a widely known fact that Eritreans have become victims of the recent drought. In addition to the already existing bad governance by PFDJ, which has become detached from the people and isolated from the world community, EHDR-UK is convinced mismanagement of funds, lack of diplomatic ties and dispersing the labour force are some of the causes of the current tragedy. EHDR-UK is of the opinion that the responsibility of caring for the Eritrean people during these trying times should be that of the government.

However, irrespective of the government’s clear failures, EHDR-UK believes that every Eritrean has a moral duty to follow closely the tragedy which is unfolding in our country and contribute in any capacity he/she wishes to counter this devastation.

We have established that there are a number of independent NGOs working in Eritrea which you can contact for specific information with regards to how you can send your financial contribution. You can send money directly to organisations listed below by stating clearly that your contribution is earmarked for the famine in Eritrea. Such NGOs include CAFOD, CARE and OXFAM. They could be contacted directly for further details in the addresses given below.
