Ethiopia: Water is Life

Marti Martindale December 15, 2014

The USAID’s Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) has put together a wonderful video of the stories of people whose lives have been changed with help from the American people. The first 3 minutes of this video feature a story about GTLI’s work with the Hamar tribe and how access to clean water has changed the life of Dobi Oyita, a Hamar woman.

Water is one of the most critical resources in Ethiopia. When it is scare, women and girls pay the price. A partnership of USAID/OFDA, the International Rescue Committee (IRC), and Global Team for Local Initiatives has helped women gain better access to clean water and also find their voice.
