The Mossy Foot Project is dedicated to providing mossy foot patients in Ethiopia with life-changing support through education, prevention, medical treatment, vocational training, and a message of hope.
The good news about Mossy Foot is that the condition is highly treatable. In the majority of cases simple, inexpensive treatment has dramatic results.
In Ethiopia, the Mossy Foot Project strives to educate the population about podoconiosis: what it is and how to treat and prevent it.
The Mossy Foot Project cares for the social and emotional needs of mossy foot patients by providing vocational training and counseling.
In 2010, the Mossy Foot Project began building homes for widows and abandoned women who are patients at the clinics.

Mossy Foot Stories & Updates
In Ethiopia, around one million people suffer from podoconiosis. People don’t understand why their feet are so deformed and are afraid it is contagious. Tigist and her father have this disease. Many patients escape the stigmatization in their villages and go to the big slums of Addis Ababa. But not Tigist, who finds out that the solution is rather simple.

I am excited to let you know about my upcoming trip to Ethiopia from May 31st through July 2nd. Over three years have passed since I was able to walk the familiar streets of Soddo (pictured above). What a joy it will be to reunite with our staff, who are like family to me.
