At the Dessie Chamber of Commerce, we believe that the heart of a thriving community lies in its ability to come together, especially in the face of adversity. Recently, we had the honor and responsibility to support a victim community that has endured immense hardship of a land slide which has caused complete destruction of living houses and displacement of part of our community. These individuals have shown extraordinary courage, resilience, and determination as they face the challenges before them.

We are deeply moved by their strength and perseverance. That’s why we, as a Chamber, felt it was essential to step up and extend a helping hand. We have provided necessary resources, including supplies( flour and food oil), emotional support, to ensure they feel seen, supported, and cared for during this difficult time.

But our work doesn’t stop here. We remain committed to long-term recovery efforts, helping the community rebuild their lives and livelihoods with dignity and hope for the future. We stand by them as they navigate this journey, and we call on others to join us in this mission of compassion and action. Together, we can make a lasting difference.

We are incredibly proud of our members, partners, and volunteers who have shown what it means to be part of a connected, caring community. This is just the beginning of a collective effort to uplift and empower those in need.

Special thanks goes to the boards of directorates of Dessie chamber of commerce and sectorial association for their continued support for our community.
