Kebado Water Supply Project

Located about 365 km south of Addis Ababa in Kebado town, Darra woreda, this project supplied safe potable water to the community, increasing sanitation and health outcomes and significantly decreasing suffering from water-borne diseases through increased labor productivity. It also enhanced school attendance by reducing dropouts, as children spent less time fetching water from long distances. The project benefited more than 30,000 people and created lasting access to safe drinking water.
