A New Well Brings Clean Water to Ethiopia
Challenge
In recent decades, Ethiopia has faced famine, drought, political instability and war. Although peace has returned, the nation remains developmentally weak, and over 50 million Ethiopians don’t have access to safe water. Most rural families survive on fewer than five liters of water per day and walk up to four hours to collect it from open sources.
Solution
Since 2006, charity: water has worked to solve this water crisis by bringing clean and safe drinking water to over 2.5 million people around the globe
Budget
Implementation
The White Feather Foundation along with partners at charity:water built hand-dug wells, which measured up to 15 meters to reach aquifers below.
Result
This program increased access to safe water for 300 people, restoring health and opportunity for a rural Ethiopian community.
