embracing ethiopia

As I prepare for a 12-day trip to Ethiopia on Wednesday, I am shocked to learn just how bad the water situation is there.

The country has more than 76 million people, and 76 percent of the population has no access to clean and safe drinking water.

I go to meet with the organizations we work with on the ground there, Healing Hands and Living Water. The charity: water initiative seeks to fully fund 60 wells in the south of Ethiopia, yet I know already so very many more are needed.

Please watch this space for images and videos from the field.
