Christian Aid

Every morning 12 year old Etebane Jemal sets off on a four km walk to collect clean water for her family. It's a journey she makes twice a day, carrying 10 litres of water on her back. That's 16 km a day - and it's a trek that puts her at risk of abduction and rape.

Thanks to Christian Aid partner Water Action, Etebane's community have been able to dig trenches and lay pipes so that clean water now flows right into their village.

This Sunday is the start of Christian Aid week.
