 * [[image:ethiopia_1.jpg]] || Ethiopia is a very poor country. The population is 78 million and out of that 78% live on less than $2 a day. 80% of the Ethiopian population is employed with agriculture, so when the crops are not in season, the people struggle even more. This picture illustrates a poor town in Africa. || 3 || By: World Bank Photo Collection

 * [[image:ethiopia_2.jpg]] || The first thing The Hunger Project is trying to do is increasing food security. This means providing food to people when the amounts of food is low. So when there is a drought or a storm ruins your crops, you can go to a food bank and receive food for free. || 4 || By: 10b travelling

THP provides medical centers that provide health care and that give immunizations to children and care for pregnant women. THP is also teaching men and women better hygiene and dig pit latrines for houses for better sanitation. Family planning is also available to families.

 * [[image:ethiopia_4.jpg]] || AIDS/HIV awareness classes are also provided to men and women because Ethiopia's AIDS/HIV rate is so high. Africa has the highest rate of HIV positives in the world. This picture shows a school just for AIDS/HIV orphans. || 6 || By: daveblume

 * [[image:ehiopia_5.jpg]] || The final thing THP works on in Ethiopia is microfinancing. This project is a lot like what Kiva does. People donate money to THP and THP gives loans to people with the money. This plan helps poor families very much because it allows them to pay back the loan very slowly. The current repayment rate is almost 98%.
