About RKIRDA

A locally rooted organization with professional expertise and community trust.

RKIRDA was founded by committed professionals from the Raya Kobo area in response to the urgent humanitarian and development needs of communities whose livelihoods, basic services, and social cohesion have been severely affected.

The organization combines integrated relief, early recovery, and long-term development interventions. Its initial focus is on Northern Raya conflict-affected communities, while aiming to expand to other vulnerable areas of Ethiopia over time.
