I’m passionate about helping vulnerable populations, those in needs and migrants to have better living conditions. Association Barwaqo works with local authorities and IOM to help these people through foods assistance for migrants and health education and malaria prevention training sessions for vulnerable neighborhood having poor waste management and promiscuity problem.
The two things, we are dealing with is Ethiopian migrants misfortunes on their way to gulf countries, some people takes advantages of them by making them live in dreadful conditions. Besides that, some of these refugees carry on them deadly malaria parasite getting from their native Ethiopia, that’s why I have ongoing discussion with NMCP to put in place malaria diagnostic tests kits at the border.

One particular neighborhood concentrates for itself all Ethiopian refugees and migrants problems and malaria devastation. The attention and priority of Association Barwaqo goes to this gloomy place. We are among other NGO’s acting for equity and social peace, fighting malaria outbreaks and following up migrants living conditions are our daily work. Now, with thousands of Yemen refugees coming to the northern city of Obock, Association Barwaqo team up with International Organization for Migration and so many local NGO’s to ease the settlements of those refugees, each one bringing its own touch and experience.
