Within the scope of the Orphan Solidarity Days program, IHH Humanitarian Relief foundation put a smile on the faces of 1,442 orphans in Ethiopia.

Currently, there are 6 million orphans in Ethiopia who have suffered from disease, poverty and political conflict. Due to the arid climate and lack of education, millions of children are struggling to survive.
