WaterAid Ethiopia has given 2.5 million Br in support to the government’s initiative to strengthen the country's response against the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).


The organisation handed over the assistance to the Ministry of Water, Irrigation & Energy. The support includes 50 water tanks with a capacity of 5,000lt each, 2,500lt of alcohol and over 1,000 bars of laundry soap.


The supplies will be distributed to health centres and temporary COVID-19 treatment sites in the capital.


WaterAid Ethiopia is operating in the country as one of the leading water, sanitation & hygiene focused (WASH) international non-governmental organisations.

The organisation also pledged to continue to deliver support as it secures more funding to help resolve the apparent shortage of public health logistics in health institutions.
