Handwashing stations in central Addis Ababa

I am absolutely sure all of our clients and supporters know full well about the Coronavirus that has swept through so many countries of the world. There are 11 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Ethiopia (as of 26 March), however due to lack of testing it is widely accepted that there will be more than this.

We have taken the decision to ask staff to stay at home. A few staff will come to the office occasionally to process salaries and other critical payments, but all others will stay at home in an effort to protect them, their families and try to stop the spread of the virus. The staff of Tesfa Tours have voluntarily agreed to take 1 week unpaid leave per month, as there is no business in the near future. I have undertaken not to make any staff redundant at this point, and am also planning to pay the communities some money to help them keep the guards paid at the community guesthouses and to keep some income rolling in.

We have also agreed to close the community guesthouses even to local tourism as of 25 March (when our last client will return from his trek), as we do not want to spread the virus from Addis to the rural areas.

I will be checking my emails regularly and my senior staff will work from their phones, but with the uncertainty caused by the virus we can not accurately cost or plan trips in the coming months. Never the less we will still be here on the other side and the communities will need your support, so we encourage you to look at visiting the Ethiopian highlands once this is all over.

I will send out a few blogs to let you know how we are doing in Addis Ababa.

Please everyone –

• Stay safe by taking proper precautions and thereby keeping those more vulnerable than you safe;
• Remember we are in this together, and we must all come out on the other side more unified and together as a result of this pandemic;
• Keep positive, and do not keep reading worst case scenarios – we need to keep a perspective here.
