Splash Ethiopia Water
Splash’s goal is to provide clean water solutions and hygiene education to each and every elementary school in the city, which would cover 300,000 children. Soapbox is providing soap bars to help them meet this goal. It’s no secret that the number of people moving from the countryside to urban centers is growing at a faster rate than ever before, and Addis Ababa is no exception. UN projections estimate Addis Ababa’s population to grow from 2010 13.9 million to 28.4 million in 2030. The challenges regarding sanitation and water infrastructure with this kind of growth are immense and most severely affect the urban poor living in slums with little infrastructure, a population that is estimated to encompass 80% of the population in the city.
