Situation
In Ethiopia, only 39% of the population has access to basic drinking water services (2015). In rural areas, this figure drops to 30%. This leaves over 60 million people with no access to clean water. Daily walks to fetch potentially contaminated water from unprotected sources regularly leads to sickness, wasted time, injury, missed school and lost hope. Lack of safe water makes it impossible for people to meet their full potential, increases the risk of CV-19 & locks them in a cycle of poverty.
Solution
Since 1984 HOPE has provided clean water to 300,000 people in Ethiopia. HOPE has found that working with communities to bring local, clean water access is a catalyst to transformational change, allowing them to help themselves out of poverty. Improved health, access to education and time for pursing income-generating activities become the new reality, instead of many hours spent sourcing essential but unsafe water. New skills and training prepares them for a sustainable future of self-reliance.
