Over half of the entire population of Ethiopia does not have access to safe drinking water. In this video, we documented the work of Water1st International in villages near Ginchi, Ethiopia. You will see how women and girls must collect filthy water from streams where cattle are also drinking, and then carry the water miles back to their villages. You will also see how their lives are changed when clean water is present in their communities.

Thank you for watching. Please leave me comments on what you think of this film.

    Hi! I love your video. I am an International Baccalaureate Coordinator at a middle school in Georgia, and I’d love to use this video for a project we have our sixth graders do called Aqua Vita. We study the water crisis in six countries across the globe, one of which is Ethiopia. Is there a way for me to download a version of this film so that we can show it to kids? Sometimes we have issues of buffering with streaming video. Thanks much!
