The MWP works to carry out programs with point of use (POU) water treatments and hand-washing basins, spring catchments, shallow well rehabilitation, borehole construction and micro-loans.
The MWP addresses lack of access to safe and adequate drinking water, sanitation and hygiene in Ethiopia through its work with partner organizations present within the country. By helping communties attain access to safe drinking water, the MWP helps to lessen the burden of diarrheal diseases within Ethiopia, especially among children. By incorporating integrated water resource management activities the MWP aids in improved irrigation drought mitigation, and watershed management.
The MWP works in various areas including: Point-of-use water treatment with hygiene education & sanitation promotion and integrated water resource management in communities and schools.
The coordination of MWP activities will serve to improve access to water and sanitation and improve hygiene along with implementing integrated water resource management activities benefitting some 179,856 people in rural Ethiopia.
