Why MEDtiopia?

You can donate almost anywhere. We're no better than anyone else.

But what we can assure you is that our aid reaches a region we know and love well. Where we have regional contacts. And which desperately needs support! We provide emergency aid and work to improve medical care in cooperation with local NGOs.
We don't employ anyone in Germany; instead, we work voluntarily to achieve the greatest possible impact for the people of Ethiopia. We focus on health because that's our strength. And we address the acute needs on the ground. That's why we founded MEDtiopia e.V.

Donation arrived
Löwenstein has donated a pallet of medical supplies to the clinic in Dessie – the goods have arrived in Dessie! Many thanks to everyone involved, especially Löwenstein for the generous donation! See more videos about the hospital support here

Urgent Aid for Mersa

Even after the civil war, the town in northern Ethiopia remains difficult to reach due to armed militias, and people suffer from a lack of supplies and rising prices. In April 2025, we distributed baby food powder (faffa) to malnourished children and washable sanitary pads and panties for women. See below the video about the nutrition project + you can find the video about the women's project HERE.

Our Charity Wine
In cooperation with Imi Winery, we now have the first MEDtiopia Charity Wine - a beautiful limited edition cuvé with art by Gizem Güvendağ. Read more here...

Projects 2024
Since 2022 we support two clinics in northern Ethiopia: in the small town of Mersa and in the provincial town of Dessie. Thanks to your donations we realized medical equipment transport.
One example: the first bone marrow biopsy was performed in Dessie! Doesn't sound so spectacular? The clinic in Dessie serves around 10 million people, and there is no better-equipped hospital in the region. It's unimaginable for us, isn't it?
