Two Ethiopian young people Zerihun Mammo and Tereza Sateesh spoke about water crises in 3rd World Water Forum in Kyoto Japan.

We visited drought-affected areas like in Harar and Somali region as well as areas around Dire Dawa. We presented a power point presentation, which showed how Ethiopia is reach in water resources and how the current drought is affected the country. We also recommended to the participant ministers form different countries of the world that we need the donors to support us with skilled man power and modern farming technologies instead of donating food every time.
