Sat waiting for the airport and reflecting on our week here. Today we've been to a town called Woliso and visited a school to look at latrines that WaterAid has funded. WaterAid has also funded water infrastructure and a dry waste facility. As always, they're very well designed and the children's loos came complete with a disabled facility and taps for washing. We also spoke to hygiene educators in the town who told us that many people still get water borne illnesses but more from poor hygiene than poor water. Having spent the week mainly looking at asset management it was good to talk
direct to people who are benefitting. It's been a great week and we have to give a massive thank you
to the WaterAid in Ethiopia team who are inspirational in their dedication to improving the lives of their fellow Ethiopians. The three of us from YW have been humbled by the work they do on limited resources and still manage to stay cheerful. We have learned a lot from them and just being in this big, beautiful country
