KARAMA Charity Foundation

is an independent, nongovernmental organization founded by intellectuals living inside and outside Ethiopia, local elders, as well as youth and women groups. These groups of people have always been actively involved in raising the standard of living for the most vulnerable people in the Somali region of Ethiopia in particular, and people of Somali descent in general. They have been providing services to the local community of Ethiopia of their own free will. To broaden their activities in more professional and result-centered development, these intellectuals established a nongovernmental organization on the 10 th of September, 2020. The founders discussed the issue of human suffering in East Africa, more specifically as regards to the Somali region of Ethiopia, and the need of the people of that region in humanitarian relief and educational assistance. They also discussed supporting the communities for sustainable development to prevent the negative impacts of famines, as well as both natural and man-made disasters. We have obtained a taxpayer registration certificate under the Ethiopian Somali Regional State Revenue Authority, with TIN (Tax Identification Number) 0069069821. Karama Charity Foundation opened its main office in Jigjiga, Ethiopia, and has branch offices in North Eastern Kenya; Mogadishu, the capital city of Somalia; Kismayu, port city of Somalia (3 rd capital of Somalia); and Badhadhe town in the lower Jubba area.
