Run in Ethiopia Promotes Awareness of Maternal Health Issues

In 2011, USAID co-sponsored the EVERY ONE Race to mark the agency's 50th Anniversary in Ethiopia's Rift Valley. U.S. Ambassador to Ethiopia Donald Booth joined USAID Mission Director Thomas Staal, USAID Ethiopia and US Embassy staff, and over 60 Peace Corps volunteers to run in the annual EVERY ONE campaign race to reduce maternal, newborn, and child mortality in Ethiopia. USAID was an official cosponsor of the race along with Save the Children and world marathon record-holder Haile Gebreselassie's non-governmental organization, Great Ethiopian Run.
