Program SummaryYour support of the Ethiopia Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Program is bringing safe water, improved sanitation facilities, and better hygiene practices to children and families in 16 World Vision Area Development Programs (ADPs) in four regions throughout Ethiopia.

We have reason to celebrate, as this project, just three years in, already has delivered safe water access to more than 275,000 people. In addition, 360,450 people (179,930 in FY13) have improved access to sanitation facilities, and 431,039 (169,494 in FY13) have been trained in hygiene practices. That means children can spend more time in school because they don’t have to travel long distances to fetch water, and rates of waterborne diseases are dropping.

This report highlights the activities and achievements for fi scal 2013 (October 2012 through September 2012), which exceeded expectations.

Goal and Outcomes

EXPECTED OUTCOMES

OUR STRATEGY World Vision focuses on leveraging our partners and community engagement to bring clean water and improved sanitation to people around the world, helping to create fullness of life for children in need. We care about water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) because more children die from illnesses caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation and hygiene than almost any other cause. World Vision is now the largest nongovernmental organization (NGO) provider of clean water in the developing world—reaching one new individual with clean water every 30 seconds. We are investing $400 million to address the global water crisis and reach 7.5 million people over six years.

This map shows World Vision WASH program areas in Ethiopia.

126 successful boreholes and shallow wells were drilled.

132 water points from alternative systems, such as springs and reservoirs, were constructed.

14,939 latrines were constructed by individuals for their households, or subsidized by World Vision for public or school use.

ANNUALHIGHLIGHTS

Campaign Report3

We are pleased to report that the Ethiopia Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Program made exceptional progress during fi scal 2013. Adding to the achievements already highlighted are these notable accomplishments:

• 242 communities earned were certifi ed as being free of all open defecation, improving hygiene and health for children and families.

• Of the boreholes drilled, fi ve were deep, 83 were shallow, 26 were built using manual drilling tools, and 12 were dug by hand.

• 10 springs were developed at their sites (“on spot”), and three springs were developed and equipped with gravity-fed distribution systems.

• One rainwater-harvesting system was constructed.

• 372 communities received training on the benefi ts of good hygiene practices, such as handwashing, dishwashing, food storage, and safe transportation and storage of water.

LEARNING CENTER ACCOMPLISHMENTS

World Vision’s East Africa Learning Center (serving Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda) accomplished the following in fi scal 2013:

• Reorganized the learning center and hired Girma Begashaw as director. Girma brings years of experience to the position, including serving as national director of Kenya and Somalia.

• Conducted four-day regional WASH program reviews in Kampala and Hoima, Uganda, to review program implementation, celebrate accomplishments, and learn best practices that can be scaled up.

• Held a training in Rwanda to equip World Vision staff with the knowledge and skills to carry out WASH behavior-change programming.

• Increased the learning center’s emphasis on engaging with national offi ce leadership.

• Helped country programs expand their eff orts to mobilize resources and acquire grants.

Activities

150 schools received training on the benefits of improved hygiene practices.

GLOBALLY, WORLD VISION REACHES A NEW PERSON WITH SAFE WATER EVERY 30 SECONDS.

FINALLY, CLEAN WATER AFTER 80 YEARS OF HARDSHIPFatuma Abdella spent a lifetime drinking contaminated water, and suffered continually from waterborne illnesses. Now, in her 80th year, she is thrilled to have a source of safe, clean water in her village of Degaya-Bello. World Vision capped a spring and built a reservoir and water taps to bring water directly into the community.

No longer do Fatuma and the more than 3,400 villagers of Degaya-Bello travel to the unprotected spring they shared with livestock, which contaminated the water.

“I used to drink unsafe water from this source, and have been infested with diseases throughout my life,” Fatuma said. “I am grateful to everyone who helped us to put all those problems behind. We are enjoying safe water now.”

OUTCOME 1: Access to safe water

OUTCOME 2: Access to improved sanitation

OUTCOME 4: Community capacity building to sustain WASH interventions

You might notice that these targets are slightly higher than ones mentioned in previous proposals and reports. This is because World Vision WASH programs in each country have now six-year targets, which are refl ected here.

Campaign Report5

Long-Term Impact

WASH committees, comprised of community volunteers, exist to ensure the long-term sustainability of WASH facilities.

Th e work you support would not be eff ective if World Vision did not fi rst ensure communities where we develop clean water supplies are completely invested in program success and sustainability. Some of the tools employed by WASH programs include training and supporting WASH committees that oversee community involvement; establish plans to maintain wells and water sources with materials, labor, and fi nancial resources; and ensure all community members have equal access to clean water, and sanitation and hygiene improvements.

World Vision’s wells historically have long lives and provide safe water for years after other wells have failed because of this community investment. Th is includes volunteers who take the time to learn pump maintenance and repair, so wells are kept in excellent shape and provide a steady, reliable source of safe water.

Lessons Learned

During the second half of the year, the Ethiopia WASH Program experienced delays in some of the work being done by contractors. To counter this, World Vision project managers issued warning letters to those contractors and began closer supervision of their work. For those contractors whose work was delayed because of fi nancial circumstances, World Vision began paying for

services upon the completion of each phase of the job, which gave the contractors the resources to begin the next phase of work.

An extended rainy season also slowed work on some WASH facilities. New schedules for unfi nished construction were set, and work on those projects currently is under way.

World Vision is a treasure of an NGO.”

Campaign Report6

—Faye Megertu, mother of seven, who is thrilled to have safe water just 10 minutes from her home

When the only source of water for her family was a river more than an hour away from home, Faye Megertu’s children were frequently sick with waterborne illnesses. They also missed precious classroom time, because they had to help carry the day’s water supply, “which was very inadequate for our daily consumption,” she said. “It was diffi cult to have enough water for bathing and personal cleanliness.”

Water was in short supply, and that water was unsafe to drink. “We shared the river with animals … and as a result, waterborne diseases, such as diarrhea, were common in my family,” Faye said.

The new well in her village of Donege (Angolela ADP) has changed all that. “Thanks to God and the people who made this possible. The water is not only safe to drink, but also available in our vicinity. We can fetch as

We are really grateful to the donors and people who have chosen our village to give us such a wonderful gift.”

much water as possible now … We can take a shower anytime we want. My children are able to attend their schools properly. We will not suffer from waterborne diseases,” she said, ticking off benefit after benefit.

She added that she and her neighbors also are learning about personal hygiene and environmental sanitation, education that will prevent illness and further improve the quality of life for families in the village.
