and the genocidal war has obliterated over 85% of its healthcare facilities. I am using part of the generous Bold Prize I received from Sabrina Hersi Issa to match up to $15,000 of your donation, which would enable us to collectively raise $30,000 for the Asmlash-Grant Foundation. This money would allow us to ship a 40-foot container full of medical supplies to Tigray, equipping 18 health facilities that serve hundreds of thousands of people, many of whom have to travel 100s of miles to access any type of healthcare facility. While we cannot undo the horrors of the genocide, we can raise awareness about its consequences and lay the foundation for healing and recovery. You can see here a harrowing short documentary about starvation used as a weapon of war during the genocide. |
