<b>Borana Zone, Ethiopia:</b>
Communities in this area depend on agriculture and livestock farming, which is very limited due to the unstable water supply. In 2007 several NGOs implemented 7 sand dams and 10 surface runoff tanks. This combination should provide a reliable source of water for 10 communities in the area. The project will in the future expand to other parts of the country also.

|'''AKVO RSR Project:''' [http://www.akvo.org/rsr/project/393/ Dawa Eresa Subsurface and Sand Dam project]
This project aims to provide the people in Konda and Kora with access to water. Currently the water source they use is of poor quality without year-round access.
By constructing a sand dam and subsurface dam that harvest rainwater, the people will gain year-round access to water of better quality. This will reduce the time spent on collecting water and thus free time for school enrollment for children and other activities for women.
