A huge thank you to the Emirates Airline Foundation for its generous support in 2019 for our activities in Ethiopia through the donation of 17 return flights and extra baggage allowance.

This extraordinary support allowed us to increase our trips to Ethiopia for training and medical assistance and take much needed equipment and supplies to improve health care for orthopaedic patients in hospitals in Addis Ababa, Bahir Dar and Hossana.

More information about the Foundation can found on their website www.emiratesairlinefoundation.org/.
