Splash’s goal in Ethiopia is to reach 100% of government schools in the capital, Addis Ababa – that’s over 450 schools serving more than 400,000 kids!
In the fall of 2016, the Addis Ababa Education Bureau (AAEB) invited Splash to lead them in conducting a city-wide water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) survey of all the private and government schools in Addis to better understand the conditions in the schools. Splash, having conducted the first-ever city-wide WASH survey of all public schools in Addis in 2015, became known by the government as a valued leader in urban WASH.
In partnership with AAEB, Splash developed and co-managed a huge survey of all government and private schools in Addis Ababa – 465 government and 1,674 private schools – in 2016. Splash was responsible for providing the mobile data technology to collect the survey data (Formyoula), co-designing the survey questions with AAEB, and training AAEB to conduct the survey and manage over 100 survey collectors.
We are very excited to report that this work is now complete and that preliminary results will be released in the next month! The partnership has greatly increased Splash’s capacity to design and manage surveys using mobile data collection technology. It also built the capacity of the government to better serve its schools and ensure that all children have access to safe water and clean toilets.
Most importantly, this work will inform our ongoing work in Addis and future interventions.
By the end of 2016, Splash had served 51,280 children at 54 schools, 10 orphanages, 5 shelters and 2 hospitals in Addis Ababa.
Your donation to Splash has helped to make all this work possible and is propelling us towards our goal of reaching 100% of the public schools in Addis!
Thank you for making a difference!
