History
AGAR Ethiopia focuses on the rehabilitation and economic reintegration of Ethiopian women who had been trafficked to the Middle East for domestic work. Specifically, AGAR supports the rehabilitation of women through the provision of comprehensive services at their shelter (food and clothing, psychosocial and medical service) and life and business skills as well as vocational training. Where possible, AGAR works with women and families to explore the suitability of their reintegration with relatives or with communities.
