Ethiopia is a beautiful country in the Horn of Africa with unrivalled ancient history and fabulous wildlife. Ethiopia is home to 102 million people and it is currently one of the largest refugee-hosting countries in Africa. In the past twenty years, droughts have affected several areas of the country, leading to ponds, wells, streams and lakes drying up or becoming extremely shallow. 43 million Ethiopians lack access to safe water and 71 million lack access to improved sanitation.

Many people living outside of the cities collect water from the shallow dried-up water sources, which are often contaminated with human and animal waste, worms, or disease, posing major health risks on the communities.

The droughts have driven Ethiopia to a humanitarian crisis; it is in desperate need for more readily available and clean water sources in order to sustain the population.
Water is needed for hydration, agriculture, food security, hygiene, sanitation and the health & well-being of the overall population.
Drop4Drop are working on projects across Ethiopia to help fight the water crisis and give hope and opportunity back to the population.
