<\/path><\/svg><\/p>\n\u12dc\u130e\u127d \u1208\u12dc\u130e\u127d (Zegoch Lezegoch-ZlZ), known in English as Citizen to Citizen (C2C) Development organization, is a local civil society organization that aims to catalyze and leverage people\u2019s efforts to address the most urgent needs and root causes of poverty.<\/p>\n
C2C born in December 2021 after witnessing the large-scale displacement of people caused by ongoing conflict, drought, deprivation, and various other crises. To increase the scale of its work and reach a wider population of communities, C2C adapts a community-led approach named \u2018Irsho\u2019. Irsho is the Amharic word for the natural yeast used to make injera and bread (a staple in the Ethiopian diet), an ingredient that stimulates and catalyses growth. The approach works in a similar way, working to change the way people think about and deliver aid and providing microgrants to stimulate growth.<\/p>\n
