New Behind-the-Scenes Blogs from Ethiopia

Dillo Woman    

Check out Heading South, a five-part multimedia blog from the CLP's East Africa team, taking you behind the scenes on a loooong trip to southern Ethiopia's Borena Zone to investigate pastoralist conflict and long-distance water walking. The articles and radio pieces will be coming soon, but this collaborative blog will take you backstage first.

 

The Walk for Water on the World Vision Report

In many parts of the world, women and girls walk long distances or spend hours waiting in queues for water. Often, the water these "water walkers" draw isn't even clean. According to a 2006 United Nations report, diarrhea caused by contaminated water is the second largest cause of child mortality. More than 5,000 children die every day from easily treatable diarrhea. That's 5 times as many as HIV/AIDS.

Jessica Partnow's audio story about a day in the life of a water walker airs on the World Vision Report this week. Click here to find your local listings, or go straight to the World Vision Report website to listen online.
