A lot of people ask me why we picked Ethiopia over other countries.
And my response is:
WHY NOT ETHIOPIA?
Here are a few stats: they will break your heart
There are 5 MILLION orphans in Ethiopia
1 in 10 children die before their 1st birthday
1 in 6 children die before their 5th birthday
Median age is 17.8 years
The doctor patient ratio is 1 to every 24,000 people
24% have access to safe drinking water
Half of all kids do not attend school
82% of population live on LESS than $1.00 a day
How could we not pick Ethiopia?
