Clean Water Facts:
Join our 5K to raise funds for a spring water project in Chirone, Ethiopia! This water project will provide over 5,500 people with easy access to clean water. Currently, this community has to purchase jarred water that is brought in from other sources via donkey. To learn more about our organization check out our website at HawassaHope.org
Quick Facts:
- 43.4M people in Ethiopia don’t have access to safe water. This is over half of the population.
- Over 67 million people don’t have access to adequate sanitation in Ethiopia, almost four-fifths of the population.
- Around 33,000 children die every year from diarrhea caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation in Ethiopia.
We can't wait to run with you!
