About HelpAge Ethiopia

HelpAge Ethiopia is a national non-profit organization based in Addis Ababa, dedicated to ensuring that older people in Ethiopia live dignified, healthy, and secure lives. In November 2025, after 30 years as HelpAge International's country office, it transitioned into an independent national entity strengthening locally led action on ageing and aligning with Ethiopian priorities.

The organization supports older people, particularly those who are destitute and disadvantaged, through programs focused on:

• Income security
• Social care
• Inclusive health and wellbeing
• Humanitarian response
• Resilience building

HelpAge also delivers humanitarian and development interventions for vulnerable groups, including host communities, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and refugees.
