President Clinton on a mission of giving in Ethiopia
On August 1, President Clinton arrived in a small rural district outside of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, called Debre Ziet, where a large crowd of people greeted him at Godino Health Center, a rural center that serves 45,000 people.
He and his team announced a new program that will help 50 health centers across Ethiopia bringing HIV/AIDS and malaria testing, care, and treatment to more than one million people.
These efforts will include a focus on helping to prevent the transmission of HIV/AIDS from a mother to her baby, giving more children the chance to live free of the disease.
President Clinton’s next stop: Rwanda, where he’ll meet with coffee and cassava farmers partnering with his Foundation’s Clinton Hunter Development Initiative, break ground on a new hospital, and make a home visit with a rural health care worker.
Follow his journey on the trip blog as he checks on the progress being made. You can also listen to his 1-minute inspirational message about the exciting possibilities in Africa at www.ClintonFoundation.org/africa
