Climate change and an increase in unpredictable and extreme weather is a growing challenge. Long periods of drought affect clean water supplies while flooding can pollute clean water sources and cause outbreaks of disease. The world’s population is predicted to grow to 8.5 billion by 2030 and 9.7 billion by 2050.

Ethiopia is located in Africa’s Horn where drought and politics are two leading causes of water shortage. Many people living outside of the cities collect water from these shallow water sources, which are often contaminated with human and animal waste, worms, or disease.

The tap water is generally NOT safe to drink anywhere in Ethiopia. Bottled water or filtered water is readily available at tourist sites, hotels, safari camps & restaurants, and hot water (boiled to make it safe) or hot tea is generally offered with a meal at a restaurant.

Besides the deadly HIV/AIDS, malaria, bacterial and protozoal diarrhea, typhoid fever, hepatitis A, dengue fever, rabies, etc. continue to threaten several lives in Ethiopia today. Poor governance, rampant corruption, lawlessness, etc. remain some of the top issues facing Ethiopia today.

Families in Ethiopia are working to improve their lives. With greater access to education, safe water, food security, and sanitation and hygiene practices, the population still living in poverty can make their way into the middle class.

Ethiopia is remarkably safe – most of the time. Serious or violent crime is rare, and against travellers it’s extremely rare. Outside the capital, the risk of petty crime drops still further. A simple tip for travellers: always look as if you know where you’re going.

Crime, kidnapping, armed conflict, and the potential for ethnic conflict exist near the Ethiopian borders with Sudan and South Sudan. Visit our website for Travel to High-Risk Areas. Terrorists, particularly Al-Shabaab, maintain a presence in this area, and ethnic conflict has been reported.
