The Urgent Need for Medical Equipment
Dembi Dollo Hospital, like many healthcare facilities in resource-limited settings, faces significant challenges in providing adequate medical care for the people of Kellem. The shortage of essential equipment hampers the hospital’s ability to diagnose and treat patients effectively.

In response to this pressing need, KDAG has set its sights on equipping the hospital with medical equipment and technology.
A Testament to Unity and Generosity
Thanks to your incredible generosity and unwavering support, we are thrilled to share a remarkable achievement—on January 16, 2025, a 40-foot container filled with essential medical supplies was successfully shipped to Ethiopia. This life-changing shipment is expected to arrive by March 31, 2025, and we anticipate that it will reach Dembi Dollo Hospital sometime in April 2025, bringing much-needed relief and improving access to critical healthcare.
This milestone was made possible by the collective effort of a few dedicated Kellem diasporas who came together, raised funds, and worked tirelessly to make this vision a reality. It is a true testament to what we can accomplish when we unite for a greater cause.
But our work is far from over. Kellem still needs us. Let’s continue to come together, to uplift, and to serve. Together, we can make an even greater impact.
