-One in six children die before their fifth birthday.
-44% of the population of Ethiopia is under 15 years old.
-60% of children in Ethiopia are stunted because of malnutrition.
-The median age in Ethiopia is 17.8 years.
-1.5 million people are infected with AIDS (6th highest in the world).

-Per capita, Ethiopia receives less aid than any country in Africa.
-In the 90's the population (3%) grew faster than food production (2.2%). Drought struck the country from 2000-2002 (1st year no crops, 2nd year no seeds, 3rd year no animals)
-Half the children in Ethiopia will never attend school. 88% will never attend secondary school.
-Coffee prices (Ethiopia's only major export) fell 40-60% from 1998-2002.
