Years of conflict have damaged or closed many of Ethiopia's hospitals and schools, and the country's energy problems only deepen the strain. Landlocked and dependent on imported fuel, Ethiopia sits at the mercy of a volatile global market, leaving much of the country reliant on off-grid power that cannot keep clinics and classrooms running consistently.

WHAT WE DO

How we support

Across Ethiopia, blackouts and medical shortages put patients at risk every day.
Aid Pioneers works with Ethiopian and international partners to install solar power in hospitals and schools, replacing the diesel that drains their budgets and ensures a reliable supply of clean energy. Alongside that, we deliver the medical supplies that keep patients alive, even where shortages run deep.

Powering 90% of Mudula Hospital with solar

Sitting in central Ethiopia, the hospital serves 600,000 people in the region and treats 8,000 patients a month, though treatments were heavily affected by the unreliable grid and expensive diesel. Together with our partners we implemented a 73.4 kWp solar system with 110 kWh of battery storage, sourcing components across three continents to ensure the hospital would get the highest quality system at the lowest price.

Restoring ICU care for six million people in Tigray

The war in Tigray left most hospitals without functioning intensive care, and only 3% of health facilities in the region remained fully operational after the conflict. Together with our partners, we delivered 44 ICU beds and mattresses to 11 hospitals across the region, opening ICU services for the first time in five of them.

Your support making a difference

Blackouts and soaring fuel costs place further strain on resources that are already stretched thin. Without stable power, surgeries stall, vaccines spoil and teaching hours are cut short.
With your support, we can solarize schools and hospitals together and deliver life-saving medical supplies.
