The Ethiopian Red Cross Society (ERCS) was established by government decree on 8 July 1935 in the aftermath of the second Italian aggression over Ethiopia
ERCS began by providing humanitarian services to wounded soldiers and civilian victims
That same year on the 25 September 1935, ERCS was officially recognized as the 48th member of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. ERCS is auxiliary to the government and yet it is an independent humanitarian organization
It was established and recognized by law through a National Charter adopted in 31 October 1947
The Charter has undergone various parliamentary revisions, the last being in 1999
The current Charter was endorsed by the Parliament in January 2018.
