Ethiopia has been dubbed the land of 13 months of sunshine, but it actually has two seasons wet and dry. Even though the short wet season can bring torrential rains, still there is barely enough water to go around for drinking, washing, cleaning and agriculture making the dry season especially difficult for the most vulnerable in the population women, children and the sick.
