In 2021 a group of educated, dynamic, and like-minded individuals working in the humanitarian and emergency sector, got together to establish this local organization, for addressing the most urgent and pressing needs of disaster risk–affected and deprived people in Ethiopia. True to this spirit the organization was named Ultimate Concern for the Deprived (UCD).
Ultimate Concern for the Deprived (UCD) is an indigenous, nonprofit non-governmental organization established in 2021. It has been registered and licensed by the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Charities and Societies Agency as an Ethiopian Residents Charity in accordance with the Agency and Societies Proclamation No.621/2021
