Ethiopia Water Projects

Half of Ethiopia is drinking unsafe water and it’s making children sick, but it’s entirely preventable.

  • Nearly 1 in 5 people do not have a toilet, so they go outside in the open. This is a major public health crisis.
  • The good news: Diarrheal disease, a leading cause of death for children under five years old, is nearly eliminated by drinking safe water and practicing proper sanitation and hygiene.

Our Work in Ethiopia

Lifewater constructs custom water access and sanitation solutions in the globe’s hardest to reach communities. This includes places like Bensa, Nensebo, Kokosa, and Dodola—regions in the remote corners of Ethiopia. 

First, local staff who know the cultures and language help communities adopt life-saving sanitation and hygiene practices. They love like Jesus by bringing health to their neighbors. Then, communities receive a safe water source built to last for generations, and donors receive an update with a photo of their impact.

(Note: data below from 2016–August 2022)

“My wife and I were fortunate to find Lifewater. I could write for hours about them, the service and impact they provide. We love supporting them and look forward to many years of partnership!”

– Chris and Sarah McCabe, Lifewater Donors
