WHO declared COVID-19 disease as a public health emergency in late January 2020 and characterize it as a pandemic in March 2020. So far, more than 4 million people have been infected and about 280,000 died globally. The health system is now in unprecedented burden with acute shortage of supplies, hospital beds and human resource. Apart from the devastating health consequences, the overall socio-economic and humanitarian disasters are shocking. The world economy might fall into depression. In poor countries like Ethiopia, governments alone will not be able to shoulder the economic crisis caused by the pandemic.

In response to the government’s call for solidarity, Bedr Foundation launched “My Family” project aimed at providing socio-economic for the poorest households that will probably face food insecurity due to COVID-19. My family Project will create a platform where vulnerable families are connected with families/individuals who will provide them monthly economic support for six months.
