About the Denan Project

The Denan Project, Inc. is a 501 (C) (3) non-profit foundation incorporated in the State of Connecticut in the United States of America. Although based in the U.S.A., its vision is global. Unlike many other nonprofits, the Denan Project adheres to a high standard known as Transparency in Giving. All financial records are professionally audited, and the project ensures that 100% of the funds donated go toward helping the people of Denan. To assist in helping the people of Denan, the Project has partnered with the Ogaden Welfare and Development Association, an Ethiopian nongovernmental organization (NGO) that manages the operation of the hospital in Denan.

Initially, the Denan Project was founded to provide qualified medical care to the people of Denan Ethiopia for the first time. The hospital is the only free acute medical care in the Ogaden region which is populated by 4 million people.

The Denan Project is now funding a project to provide a water pipeline to the people of the greater Denan area, as well as an agricultural extension program to provide training and tools so that local farmers can begin to grow drought resistant crops.
