When Water 1st staff visited San Gabriel in April, 2007, the water project was nearly complete. Come meet community members who are on the verge of having clean drinking water in their community for the first time.

In 2007, Water 1st traveled to Ethiopia to visit the site of their ongoing work, Ilamu Muja. We met people who are building the water system, and went to where they still collect dirty water as they wait for the clean water to flow to the taps.

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.

I shot this video on assignment with Water1st International in August, 2006 in Lempira, Honduras. We visited the community of San Gabriel, which was in the process of building their new water system, funded by Water1st. We met with community members in the church, and then visited work sites where the men were transporting pipe into the mountains where they were building the new water system.

We were visiting Honduras at the end of the rainy season, and we got drenched on several occasions. I was packing my cameras in a new case, which was an experiment in waterproofing the gear in wet climates. The case is made by Pelican, and it worked really well. It kept everything completely dry in torrential downpours. I was able to lock it into the back of the pickup trucks, too and not worry about heat or theft.

It is a 3–1/2 minute documentary on the work of Water1st International. I traveled with Marla Smith-Nilson, executive director of Water 1st in August of 2006 to water projects in San Gabriel, Honduras, where we shot the footage for this piece.

Watch the film on YouTube.

Gear for this video included a Sony HD camera, Sennheiser mics, Mac editing station running Final Cut Pro, and a lot of Starbucks Coffee.
