She lives with her husband and children in a house with two small rooms in a slum of the city of Bishoftu. One of her daily activities is selling locally made drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Until recently, she and her family and many neighboring households had to use an old toilet that was about to collapse. Because there was no fence around it, it was also used by passers-by and waste was dumped. In heavy rain, the toilet regularly overflowed. Thanks to our project, she can now use modern toilets that are well managed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text aligncenter is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Persoonlijkverhaal1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21708 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Persoonlijkverhaal1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Persoonlijkverhaal1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Persoonlijkverhaal1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Persoonlijkverhaal1-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Persoonlijkverhaal1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\">Almost drowned<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Iniye remembers the very sad incident where she almost lost her son thanks to the old toilet. As usual, she went about her daily activities and searched for her 11-month-old son who was briefly out of the picture. She found that her child fell into the well and screamed for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">\u201cI pulled him out of the well in which he was submerged up to his shoulder and almost sank,\u201d she recalls.

The balance has already risen to 5,500 birr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The plan is to buy a Bajaj. This is a three-wheeled vehicle that is widely used as a means of transport in the area.

We do this in schools, but also in the communities around those schools, for example by building kiosks on the outside of those schools, including small shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">In total we invest at least 1 million euros. With this we reach 35,100 people, but specifically also 15,300 girls in 20 schools. By building safe toilets, washbasins and changing rooms, we hope that the absenteeism rate of girls from school will decrease by 50% in the next 2.5 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-secondary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/en\/water-projects\/water-and-sanitation-at-and-around-schools\/\">Take a look at this project<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:10%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-lightgray-color has-css-opacity has-lightgray-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">May be you want to read these updates too:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"overzicht-block_539d35f1156414d90e8b2ff45e30aa79\" class=\"wp-block overzicht aligncenter\">\n\t<div class=\"blocks\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row small-up-1 large-up-2 collapse\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"column\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-image lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Ethiopia-1-768x576.jpg\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"h4\">Wrapping up in Ethiopia<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Our project in Ethiopia has come to a successful end.
