Your generosity directly supports our WASH projects in rural Ethiopian communities. We allocate funds to the following areas to ensure lasting impact:

• Water supply infrastructure: construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance of reliable water sources.
• Sanitation facilities: installation and improvement of toilets, waste management systems, and access improvements.
• Hygiene education programs: training for communities on safe practices, behavior change, and school-based hygiene curricula.
• Operational costs: administration, project management, monitoring, evaluation, and logistics needed to implement projects effectively.

Yes, we have both local and international volunteer opportunities. Remote volunteers can help with tasks like grant writing, social media management, graphic design, and fundraising. We also welcome international volunteers for field work, though this typically requires a minimum time commitment.

We select communities based on a comprehensive set of criteria to ensure the greatest impact and sustainability. Our process includes:

• Water scarcity levels: Assessing current access to safe water and projected future shortages.
• Health indicators: Evaluating water-related health needs and potential improvements in sanitation and hygiene.
• Community engagement: Ensuring strong community buy-in, local leadership, and participatory planning.
• Sustainability potential: Considering long-term feasibility, local capacity, maintenance prospects, and environmental impact.
• Coordination with authorities: Working closely with local authorities and community leaders to align with regional plans and priorities.

Yes, we actively partner with a range of organizations to maximize our impact and extend our reach. Our collaborative network includes:

• Government agencies: Aligning with national and regional development priorities and standards.
