Safe Drinking Water for Ethiopia

Access to safe drinking water forms one of the biggest challenges for Ethiopian households. Water and sanitation related diarrhea is among the top three causes of all deaths in Ethiopia, and Amhara region is one of the regions most affected. In total, more than 9 in 10 households do not treat their drinking water. Costs for central infrastructure and treatment are too high for the rural area. The Ethiopian Health Extension Workers currently lack alternatives to promote the treatment of drinking water. The project therefore believes that market-driven technologies to empower households to purify water at the point of use are the most effective and most sustainable solution for providing safe drinking water.

  • The project aims at ensuring 250,000 people (50,000 households) in rural areas of Amhara have access to safe drinking water at the point of use by 2021.
  • A public-private partnership will focus on:
    1. Enhancing knowledge and awareness on waterborne diseases and household water treatment solutions;
    2. Increasing availability of affordable treatment and storage solutions; and
    3. Increasing access to credit for rural households to purchase the filter.

The project addresses these aspects in a concerted effort between the government (Amhara Bureau of Health), NGO (iDE) for providing the additional capacity building support; and a company for producing and supplying of the water treatment solution (Shayashone and Resilience).
