Water Resource Development in Ethiopia
By focusing on the root cause of this chronic condition, CHF’s water and sanitation interventions are making a long-term impact on the environment and the lives of thousands of vulnerable families. With the primary objectives of increasing safe water supply and improved sanitary condition in the targeted zones, this program is also constructing safe water channels, improving household hygiene and sanitation practices, and increasing awareness about water management to help mitigate the environmental conditions that lead to chronic droughts in this part of the country. In June and July 2006, CHF helped construct and rehabilitate 17 shallow wells with 6 more under construction reaching an estimated 184,000 vulnerable individuals. In addition, the distribution of basic but essential commodities, such as jerry cans, soaps, bed nets, and Pur water filtration systems.
