WithEthiopia is a group of local families from Oregon who have adopted kids from Ethiopia and want to provide support to the communities where their children are from. WithEthiopia is focused on helping one rural community at a time by building water wells, schools, health clinics and other community needs. By joining together, local adoptive families can take on larger projects and have a much greater impact.
The current project will focus on the town of Tercha, in the Dawro Zone of southern Ethiopia. This particular piece of the larger project is to raise $4,750 toward water supply to Tercha area.
Over 8.1 Million People in the Southern Nations Region of Ethiopia do not have drinkable water according to the regional government. Most people carry water from great distances from streams that are used for drinking, cleaning, and animal water supply. Most water from these streams are unhealthy sources of water supply and can lead to severe health risks.
Remember, 100% of your donations go directly to the projects, as a Glimmer of Hope pays all overhead expenses through their endowment.
