In Amharic, Ethiopia's official language, the word IFOYTA means “relief”. Bringing relief to as many people in need as possible is every intention of IFOYTA.
Food is the basic essential for human survival. In Ethiopia, most people in need do not have the means to feed themselves. IFOYTA will provide one meal a day to those in need.
The ultimate goal of IFOYTA is to help those in need become self-sufficient and become independent. In order to do that, training will be provided to those in need.
