Who Are Water For Ethiopia?
An Independent Charity launched in April 2009, by a family of 3 trustees, with the aim of increasing clean water access, hygiene and sanitation levels in Ethiopia.
Water For Ethiopia was founded as a result of one of the trustees spending the 2008 Summer in Ethiopia and seeing how small donations from the UK really can and do change and save lives in Ethiopia.

Why Do We Value Supporting Water Projects So Highly?
It is well known that the greatest necessity in life for humans, animals and crops to survive is water, yet for humans and animals alike drinking unclean and contaminated water is also one of the biggest killers. An estimated 250,000 children died from unclean water in Ethiopia alone last year.
Whilst it is brilliant that money is spent in developing countries on food aid, malnutrition support, education and health care including HIV/AIDS, we believe that much more money and attention need to be shown to providing the most basic of life's needs: fresh clean water.
With your kind help we aim to do this.
How Does Water For Ethiopia Operate?
- We offer a 100% guarantee that every single penny of donations received will go to Ethiopia. In fact we don’t pay staff, run buildings, take money for flights, stationery or other overheads. We want your money to make as BIG a difference as is humanly possible.
- Each donation received will be assigned to a particular village project. We aim to update you through a quarterly e-newsletter as to where your kind donations have been spent, who they have helped, any difficulties we have faced and what the next steps of the projects are.
- Water For Ethiopia relies heavily on its £1 a Week Initiative. With your help, it takes just 30 people donating £1 a week for 1 year to give clean drinking water to approximately 300 people in Ethiopia
