Ahwatna

 “Ahwatna” The Tigrigna word for our sisters. A group of like minded sisters around the diaspora and Ethiopia committed to helping our sisters in Tigray during the ongoing war and humanitarian crisis. 

Ahwatna’s mission is to provide medical aid, financial support, food security and other basic life necessities to the displaced people of Tigray with a specific focus on women who have survived SGBV as a direct result of the war. 

We’re a team of volunteer women helping women from all corners of Tigray. So far we have been able to reach the IDP centers in Mekelle, Shire, Axum, Adigrat, Wukro, Maichew, Mai Tsebri, and Adwa. 

We believe that women are the backbone of every society and that Tegaru women must be protected and provided for when in need. We also believe that through the power of community we can overcome all obstacles related to war and create a nurturing environment for our brothers and sisters in Tigray.
