Our History
In response to the severe rural poverty aggravated by the 1984 persistent drought, civil war, economic mismanagement and above all the political contention of the "Derg" regime, ORDA Ethiopia was founded in February 1984 as Ethiopian Relief Organization (ERO).
ORDA Ethiopia was legally registered as a local NGO in 1991 and re-registered by the Ministry of Justice Charities and Societies Agency as an Ethiopian Residents Charity under license number 0607.
During the last 40 years of dedicated service through its Relief, Rehabilitation and Development interventions, ORDA Ethiopia has emerged as a dependable development partner that continues attracting donors, winning the credibility of government and earning the trust of local communities.
