Ethiopia has over 70 languages spoken and Amharic is the national language. It has three climate zones - a cool central zone and temperate and hot outer zones. The population is over 88 million with nearly half under age 15. Diseases spread rapidly due to lack of sanitation and medicine. Major causes of death are lower respiratory infections, HIV/AIDS, and diarrhea. Foundations help with hunger and disease issues in Ethiopia through donations, volunteering, and programs for food, water, and medicine.
