• The coverage of clean drinking water in the Dumerso village is minimal. The majority of the farmers get their water from either pond or river.

• When the pond dries and the community is forced to travel 30 minutes to get water from a river.

• Both pond and river are known to be dirty and the people who use it are exposed to various diseases.

• Due to the uncleanness of the water they drink, the people in the community, mainly children, are suffering from diseases caused by bacteria.

• As a result, mostly they get sick and are forced to travel to Dilla Town to get treatment at Hospital level. It takes more than an hour by bus to get there.
