EFFORT is an endowment organization established following the 17 years of armed struggle against the Derg regime. Due to the bitter and elongated war and the drought that happened in that period, the people of Tigrai was economically weakened. There fore, the sole purpose of establishing the endowment was to back up the disadvantaged society of the region. Accordingly, helping the family of our Martyrs, and disabled veterans due to war is our top priority. Since Feb 2015, EFFORT has been helping 13, 213 household families of our Martyrs by providing them some economic aid every month.

Moreover, EFFORT has been investing on small-scale enterprises to help disabled veterans economically by creating them job opportunities. It has also built and donated a huge building for the Tigrai Disabled Veterans Association (TDVA). Many disabled veterans say that the TDVA building has continued to be the economic backbone of the association.
