IRROB.org: Irob Relief and Rehabilitation Operations Brotherhood (IRROB) Inc.

Thank you for visiting our web site!

We welcome you in the name of the people of Irob, as well as in the name of those of us who are concerned about their welfare. Once you read about the mission and goals of our nonprofit organization, and determine that it is a cause worthy of your support, we hope you will join us as a partner in our efforts to help a people in dire need of our assistance.

Here is the background of our organization:

The Irob Relief and Rehabilitation Operations Brotherhood (IRROB), Inc., is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2003 in Washington, DC to provide financial and material assistance primarily to the Irob people, those who live in the northeastern section of Ethiopia.

And here is why help – yours and ours – is so urgently needed:

The Irobs are the victims of persistent poverty caused not only by recurrent drought, but also by the man-made problems of war and displacement. They will be able to overcome their chronic socioeconomic conditions – and improve their lives – only through sustained relief, rehabilitative, educational, and developmental programs......and that is exactly why our nonprofit organization was founded: to provide those lifesaving programs!

We promise that you will find this web site both informative and educational, with many photographic scenes of the Irob area of Ethiopia, as well as links to other sites of interest other than Irob.

Once you learn about the horrible conditions that those living in Irob must endure...day after day...year after year... we hope that you will want to join us in our efforts to assist them.

How can you help.

To do so, you need only share with them just a small portion of your material blessings which, in return, will bring you much spiritual blessing and joy. To help please click "donate" on the menu which will lead you to a secure page, where you can use your credit card to make a donation online. Your contribution of any amount, of course, will be fully deductible (as allowed by the IRS) in the United States for tax purposes.

Another way to help our cause is to click on any button or banner of those variety of shopping stores online that are posted on and linked to our web site. Then you can shop online for the items or merchandise of interest to you...those things you would normally buy in stores. Doing so will not cost you a dime, but it will benefit our organization by generating desperately needed funds to carry out our projects for the Irob people. Thank you on behalf of all those whom we serve.

ECOTOURISM POSSIBILITIES: Irobland
by Dr. Paul B. Henze
Irobland cannot not be transformed overnight from a degraded, isolated region into a flourishing one, but ecotourism development would open the way to further initiatives which could make the region an appealing destination for climbers, trekkers and ordinary visitors interested in experiencing a historic region and a mildly exotic traditional way of life. The greatest advantage would be for the Irob people themselves who would gain a source of pride along with opportunities for employment and a means of improving living conditions of future generations.

THANK YOU!

IRROB is deeply grateful to Soloist Shirli Hughes and her accompanists, Stanley J. Thurston, Piano; Lisa Carroll, Alto; Michelle Lanchester, Soprano; Desmond Pierre-Louis, Bass; and Justin Ritchie, Tenor, for their fabulous musical performance at the Benefit Concert held at St. Gabriel's Catholic Church on Sunday, November 18, 2007. Ms. Hughes along with her group generously offered the concert for gratis to benefit the poor in Ethiopia!

IRROB is equally thankful to the Reverend Thomas Gude, Pastor of St. Gabriel's Catholic Church and the Parishioners, who generously cosponsored the Concert, as well as to all the people who attended the event and contributed to the cause.

The proceeds from the concert will benefit primarily under privileged school children in a recurrent drought and poverty stricken region (Irob) in Northern Ethiopia as well as the victims of floods in Southern part of the country.
