Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!
On behalf of Refugees and Returnees Service (RRS), I’m pleased to extend our best wishes for a joyful Christmas and a peaceful New Year.
Guided by its deep-rooted tradition of hospitality and strong values to humanity, Ethiopia continues to advance inclusion of refugees into national systems and promote shared responsibility.
During this festive season, we want to express our sincere and warm greetings to UN Agencies, Donors, Funders, Partners, Refugees and Host Communities across Ethiopia.
As you celebrate Christmas and the New Year, we trust in your continued solidarity with people forced to flee their homes, as well as with communities facing increasing hardship amid resource constraints. Your steadfast support remains vital in sustaining protection, dignity and hope.
May the Christmas season bring peace, renewed hope and strengthened solidarity, and may the New Year usher in health, resilience and shared progress. We are deeply grateful for your continued partnership, generosity and commitment to supporting vulnerable populations and fostering peaceful co-existence.
Together, we can cultivate a more inclusive environment for refugees and their generous host communities, strengthening resilience, nurturing hope and expanding opportunities for all.
Wishing You All an Enjoyable Christmas and a Prosperous New Year!
