Our Wider Impact
For over 20 years, For Ethiopia has worked alongside rural communities in the Ejerie region to remove barriers facing children and young people, particularly girls and young women.
Our work has always taken a holistic approach, recognising that children cannot learn and thrive without health, dignity, and safety.
Our Historical Work in Water and Sanitation
In earlier phases of our work, For Ethiopia delivered 34 water projects in education and community settings, as well as numerous sanitation projects within a school environment, in response to urgent community needs. At the time, lack of access to clean water and safe sanitation was a major barrier to health, school attendance, and dignity.
Through this work, we:
- Supported the construction and rehabilitation of protected water sources, including capped springs and wells
- Improved access to clean and reliable drinking water for schools and surrounding communities
- Built school sanitation facilities, including toilet blocks
- Reduced the time spent collecting water, particularly for girls
- Contributed to improved health, reduced waterborne illness, and safer school environments
These projects had a lasting impact on daily life and helped create healthier, more dignified learning conditions for children, especially girls.
We no longer deliver water and sanitation programmes. This work now forms part of our history and helped shape our understanding of the strong links between health, dignity, and education.
Our Focus Today
Today, our work focuses on education, wellbeing, and long-term opportunity. We support girls and vulnerable children to access and complete education, improve health and wellbeing in schools, and build pathways to sustainable livelihoods.
We are grateful to our friends and supporters in Ethiopia and the UK who make our work possible. We are a small organisation who believe that well rooted development projects can change lives. They increase the capacity of local communities by improving health, increasing educational opportunity and creating employment. They bring communities together to create a better quality of life. Small can be beautiful.
