Responding to emergency issues is one of the thematic areas that Elnet Foundation acts on based on availability of funds and the circumstances surrounding the situation. Elnet Foundation has responded to the ongoing drought in Borena, Oromia region, by supporting concentrate feed for animals and wheat for human beings. The Borena emergency support is made in collaboration with El Auto Engineering and Trading PLC.
This short video will give you the overall brief of what we did in Borena Zone during this emergency support. While staying at Yabelo, we have conducted bi-lateral meetings with Borena Zone Livestock Resource Development head and we have also managed to visit the Borena Zone Genetic and Breeding Center around 17 km from Yabelo. In addition we have seen different species of Borena cattle breeds and other wild animals in the ranch on which we have discussed lot of issues to be addressed. This has given solid information for which development interventions we can embark on in the future.
