In the Ethiopian episode, mention was made of an organization that is working to build water wells/pumps in villages for about $4k each
Can you supply the name and contact info for this group?
Thank you.

Maybe you should contact the office directly. Their phone number and email is at the bottom of the home page. I would email, not sure if people are in the office yet.

If on YouTube, sometimes the credits list affiliates.

That’s good, Patricia. When I first saw your subject “Ethiopia - water in villages”, I thought you were going to ask if it was OK for a tourist to drink the tap water in rural Ethiopia. Oy vey, thought I.

Did not see the episode in question but there are two organizations I have heard of, with similar names: Water is Life, and Water for Life. Probably several others.

About seven years ago, we rented an apartment in Rome, and the host turned out to be a documentary film maker.
He left us a copy of his film "Tulla: The Singing Wells", which is about Ethiopia and sharing water with your fellow man.
I believe it was screened at some well known film festivals.
Anyway, if you can access it, it's extremely interesting.

Me again, more serious this time. This show is available on www.ricksteves.com on the “watch” tab. I have not watched it yet, but I will. Among the organizations on its contact list, the only one focused on water seems to be Seattle-based “Water 1st International” at water1st.org. You might try that, or watch the program again online.
