Atseda's story of hope

Thirteen-year-old Atseda is lucky. Her friends in neighboring villages walk miles to collect dirty water each day. But not Atseda. Thanks to donors like you, she has clean water from a well right by her home.

Having a secure water source can make a world of difference. A few weeks ago, Atseda shared the hope that the village's well brings her.

Because of this well, she’s healthy. She has time to go to school. She can pursue her dreams. Thank you for bringing health, hope and opportunity to girls like Atseda! Give water.
