Ethiopia: Building a Better Future

In Ethiopia, the MERET programme has helped communities rehabilitate their local environment, which has been damaged by decades of erosion and deforestation. At the same time, they improve livelihoods for local families through the sustainable use of natural resources. This helps communities cope better with natural disasters such as drought, building a brighter, more food-secure future.  These photos show the impact of MERET programme in the community of Abraha Atsbeha, in the Tigray region of northern Ethiopia.
