BACKGROUND:
Ethiopia, one of the largest a Population of over 120 million as of today. Most of the people in Ethiopia
are living below the poverty line and are facing many problems, viz., lack of food, shelter, health care,
education and un-employment and thus the people live in utter poverty. Poverty has always been
recognized as the major cause of death and disability. Poverty brings on lack of safe Drinking Water,
inadequate food, poor health care and poor education. All these will have effect on health.

The poverty situations in Ethiopian context, reflects in the State of Diredawa. The families in slums and
rural areas are normally large and often face the problems and the earning members of the family

migrate to other places in search of livelihood or starve to meet death or disease. The struggle of the
poor starts in the womb. The child in the womb suffers from the consequences of malnutrition in the
mother.

The families that are living in slum areas of Diredawa are daily wages labourers. They are living in utter
poverty. They are unable to fetch their square meal a day. Some of the parents admitting their children
