**Summary:** Unicef says that most Ethiopian people do not have access to sanitation facilties so they have no other possibility but to open defecation (to do their "business" next to water). With this process the water becomes contaminated and carries diseases. This water is also for many people the only accessible water.Because of this contaminated water that many people are using, many fall sick with dangerous diseases. Fetching water is also a big problem. Many woman are too far away from home, and that time could have been used to watch out for their children. Fetching water also gets in the way of many girl's education, and exposes girls to increase rates of abduction and rape. []
