Story
Project Harar is participating in the largest annual Ethiopian road-running event. On the 20th of November, the Project Harar team will be virtually taking part in the Great Ethiopian Run, by running/walking/hopping 10km around Brighton in order to raise funds for our urgent appeal. Please help us provide life changing treatment for children accross Ethiopia by sponsoring our runners!
Project Harar is a small but ambitious international charity providing health outreach services in Ethiopia. Since 2001 Project Harar has worked in the poorest and most remote areas of Ethiopia to provide access to treatment for young patients with cleft lip and palate. Over the last 21 years we have treated 9,748 children, helping to transform the lives of not only them but also their families. The effects of Covid-19, combined with civil conflicts across Ethiopia, have created an increasingly challenging environment to provide treatment. For a while elective surgeries were put on hold but we are once again able to deliver programmes. There are more infants and young children than ever who are waiting for their smile journey to begin. With your support our upcoming programmes hope to treat over 300 children who are currently waiting for access to surgery.
