Keep the water on at Yodit's home in Addis Ababa

The water account is 2 months behind. Yodit received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before losing my job in April. Yodit called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available. The household includes a newborn, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Yodit is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Yodit's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Electricity arrears: $50 • Reconnection and late fees: $10 • Down payment on a payment plan: $40 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Hailu
