STORIES OF LASTING CHANGE FROM OUR PARTNERS
“Blood:Water allowed Drop of Water to see the gaps within the organization. We were asking ourselves very, very critical questions. Through those discussions we were able to fill those gaps and move forward in a more structured, formal approach, which we really needed to attract funding and ensure sustainability.”
– Ethiopis Tadesse, Drop of Water Board of Directors Chairperson
