Transforming Communities, Impacting Lives

Building resilience, dignity, and opportunity across Ethiopia’s most vulnerable communities through sustainable development and humanitarian action.

About DAHO

The Development and Humanitarian Organization (DAHO) is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the most underserved and hard-to-reach communities in Ethiopia.
