View source for Give Clean Water to Kids in Ethiopia

{{Project
|Description=The capital city of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, is one of the fastest growing cities in the world. More than 374,000 poor children attend government-funded schools in Addis, where the water and sanitation conditions are appalling. Only 6% of schools have reliable access to water, 35% have useable toilets, and of schools that had taps for handwashing, only 66% worked. Soap is present for handwashing in just 10% of schools. Splash's goal is to ensure every school in Addis has safe water always.

=Challenge=
Rapid urban growth always comes with challenges, challenges that most directly affect the poor--and especially kids. It is estimated that over 80% of Addis' population lives in slum districts with low quality infrastructure and very limited access to safe drinking water and clean toilets. Water scarcity and poor sanitation are a daily threat to the health and development of the 400,000 children attending Addis Ababa's public schoools.

=Long-Term Impact=
Clean water, hygiene education, and sanitation solutions at every single public school in Addis Ababa by 2023--benefiting more than 370,000 kids, plus their teachers and communities. That's 370,000 kids who will not miss school days, play days, or any other days because of water-born illnesses! Safe water and sanitation will help thousands of kids grow up healthy so that they may reach their full potential like they deserve.
