Access to clean water is the first step out of poverty.

 

By having clean water, families can stay healthier, practice good sanitation, and leverage the water to grow crops and increase their income. Children can also go to school, because they no longer have to spend the majority of their days fetching water. A good infrastructure for water enables people to direct their energies towards other means that will improve their living standards. Learn more by watching our short film from Ethiopia here.
