Out of the 6.7 billion people on earth, 2.4 billion lack access to basic sanitation and 663 million lack access to clean water. Every 20 seconds a child dies of a waterborne illness and 443 million school days are lost each year from water related illnesses. You can help fight the water crisis by joining us in the Ethiopia.
Return to your origin with a visit to Ethiopia, commonly called the cradle of civilization. Biblically known as the land of Cush and Abyssinia, Ethiopia is the only country in Africa that was never colonized partly because of it’s impressive mountains and vast lowland deserts. This land of contrast is one of the poorest countries on the planet leaving almost half the population without access to safe drinking water. Be prepared for your own transformation as you construct wells in the Great Rift Valley with people who are materialistically poor but rich in spirit. The contrast is overwhelming for those open to a cultural adventure and simultaneously learning about the water crisis.
