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)

Safe water sources are built to last with the needs of each community in mind.
WATER FLOWING

PEOPLE SERVED
Every person deserves the health and hope that comes with safe water.
