WaterAid | Reaching the hard to reach

WaterAid began working in the remote area of Benishangul Gumuz in 2004.

Benishangul Gumuz is home to some of the poorest communities in the world. In rural areas like this in Ethiopia just 11% of the population have safe water and fewer still, just 4%, have access to sanitation.

WaterAid has introduced life-changing, sustainable and cheap technologies like composting latrines, where human waste is left to decompose into fertiliser; rope pumps, which are easily manufactured from local materials; and innovative techniques like child to child hygiene education, where children pass hygiene messages on to their friends and families.
